. You have programmed your favorite amateur radio repeater in and wish to be alerted when a QSO begins.

You can use an Audible Alarm with one of the shorter alarms (Chirp, 2-Chirp, Fast Hi-Lo or DTMF #) to

provide this indication without covering the traffic in the QSO.

. You have included a Spectrum Sweeper object in your scan configuration so that you can find nearby

strong transmitters while you are scanning. You can use an Audible Alarm to alert you when the radio

receives a Spectrum Sweeper hit, and turn on the backlight so that you can read the display and operate
