• For example, if you enter 28.473 (MHz), your scanner
accepts it as 28.475.
• When you enter a frequency into a channel, the
scanner automatically turns on the delay function and
DLY appears. When delay is turned on, the scanner
automatically pauses scanning 2 seconds after the end
of a transmission before scanning proceeds to the next
channel.
• To turn the function off or on, press Func + Dly.
• If you enter a frequency that has already been entered
elsewhere, the scanner sounds an error tone and
displays the channel that was duplicated. If you
entered the frequency by mistake, press Clr then enter
the correct frequency. To enter the frequency anyway,
press E to accept.
• To program the next channel in sequence, press
E / Pgm and repeat Steps 2) and 3).
Searching for active Frequencies
If you do not have a reference to frequencies in your area, use
a search to find a transmission.
Note: When the scanner starts searching, it automatically
turns on the delay function. To turn delay on or off, press
Func + Dly.
Scanning the Stored Channels
To begin scanning channels, press Scan. The scanner scans
through all non-locked channels in the activated banks (see
also “Locking-Out Channels” on page 27 and “Turning
Channel-Storage Banks On and Off” on Page 26/27). When
the scanner finds a transmission, it stops on it. When the
transmission ends, the scanner resumes scanning.
Notes:
• If you have not stored frequencies into any channels, the
scanner does not scan.
• If the scanner picks up unwanted partial, or very weak
transmissions, turn Squelch clockwise to decrease the
scanner's sensitivity to these signals. To listen to a weak
or distant station, turn Squelch counterclockwise.
• To ensure proper scanning, adjust Squelch until the
audio mutes.
Manually Selecting a Channel
You can continuously monitor a single channel without
scanning. This is useful if you hear an emergency broadcast
on a channel and do not want to miss any details - even
though there might be periods of silence - or if you want to
monitor a specific channel.
• To manually select a channel, press Hold, enter the
channel number then press Hold again.
Or, during scanning, if the radio stops at a channel you want
