To resume searching, press the ^ key.
Now, take a few moments to practice setting up each of the different search object types by experimenting
and creating some SRVC, LMIT and SWPR objects.
HINT: Remember that there is context sensitive help available for each menu item in the object menus.
Just press FUNC, then SEL to view the help, and SEL again to exit the help screen.
These are just a few of the many ways you can incorporate different types of search objects in your Scan
List configurations. And, just a few of the many ways that each of the individual search types can be
configured to your preferences and needs. Be sure to refer to the Detailed Menu Reference section of the
manual for detailed information for each of the search object types.
Grouping Objects with Scan Lists
By default, new objects are automatically assigned to Scan List 01. Now that you have entered a variety of
new objects that are, by default, members of Scan List 01, you may want to separate these objects into
separate Scan Lists so that you can easily enable or disable groups of objects as needed depending on
what you want to scan. There are 20 regular Scan Lists available, a special “FAV” Scan List for one-button
access to your favorite Scannable Objects, and a Skywarn Scan List.
Although Scan Lists may seem similar to the “banks” that are used in older bank/channel scanner designs,
you will find that they are much more powerful and flexible than “banks”. The number of objects that can be
grouped in a Scan List is limited only by the scanner's memory, and single objects can be members of
multiple Scan Lists without creating duplicate versions of those objects and manually placing them in each
Scan List where you want them included.
You can also mix and match different object types in Scan Lists as you see fit. Feel free to group your
objects in the manner that best suits your listening style. If you choose to group your objects by
geographical area, and find that the best set of Scannable Objects for your area includes a mix of trunked
talkgroups and conventional channels, go right ahead and put them all in the same Scan List. There are no
limitations as to the type of objects that can exist together in the same Scan List.
How you group objects in Scan Lists is entirely up to you! Here are some examples of how objects can be
grouped:
