Close Call ™ RF Capture Technology
Your scanner's Close Call feature lets you set the scanner so
it detects then displays the frequency of a nearby strong radio
transmission. Close Call RF capture works great for finding
frequencies at venues such as malls and sporting events. You
can set the scanner so Close Call detection works “in the
background” while you are scanning other frequencies, turn
off normal scanning while Close Call is working, or turn off the
Close Call feature and use the scanner normally. You can set
the scanner so it alerts you when the Close Call feature
detects a frequency. You can also set the frequency band
where you want the scanner to look for transmissions.
Unlike searching, which requires the scanner to tune to a
frequency to check for a transmission, Close Call RF capture
directly detects the presence of a strong, nearby signal and
instantly tunes to the source’s frequency.
Notes:
• Close Call RF capture works well for locating the
source of strong local transmissions such as mobile
and handheld two-way radios in areas with no other
strong transmission sources. However, if you are in
an area with many transmission sources (such as
pager radio transmitters, multi-use radio towers,
traffic control devices, etc.),
• Close Call RF capture might not find the
transmission you are searching for, or it might find a
transmission other than the one you are searching
for.
• Close Call RF capture cannot detect satellite dishes
or any transmitter with a frequency above or below
the frequency ranges listed under “Setting the Close
Call Options” in the next chapter below.
• Close Call works better with some types of
transmissions than others. It might not correctly
display frequency information for transmitters using
a highly directive antenna (such as an amateur radio
beam antenna), if there are many transmitters
operating at the same time in the same area, or if the
transmitter is a broadcast television station.
