with a 2-way radio transmission, so you can hear the call and response for that user and more easily

The scanner also lets you scan conventional transmissions, and is preprogrammed with service search
banks for convenience. By pressing a single button, you can quickly search those frequencies most
commonly used by public service and other agencies.
This scanner gives you direct access to over 65,000 frequencies including those used by police and fire
departments, ambulance services, government agencies, air, and amateur radio services.
Your scanner includes these features:
Simultaneous Trunking Operation – tracks three trunking systems (Motorola, EDACS and LTR) and
conventional systems at the same time.
Automatic Channel Programming – automatically determines the group trunking frequencies, for
Motorola trunking systems only, once the control channels are programmed.
Weather Alert – automatically sounds the alarm tone to advise of hazardous weather conditions when it
detects the alert signal on the local National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather
channel during priority operation.
Digital Weather Alert – displays the weather event text with four alert levels so you can see and hear the
reason for the alert.
CTCSS and DCS Subaudible Encoded Squelch Modes – restricts conventional channel reception to
transmissions using specified subaudible CTCSS tone or DCS data code when scanning or parked on a
single chnanel. Code Search feature instantly displays the tone or code in use. Takes advantage of
subaudible squelch tail elimination turn off codes when they are present.
Preprogrammed Frequency Ranges – lets you search for transmissions within preset frequency ranges
or within ranges you set, to reduce search time and select interesting frequencies more quickly.
Hyperscan™ and Hypersearch™ – the scanner scans at up to 60 channels per second and searches up
to 75 frequencies per second, to help you quickly find transmissions.
Signal Stalker – let you set the scanner so it detects then displays the frequency of a nearby strong radio
transmission.
Priority Channel — lets you set the scanner to check one channel every 2 seconds so you do not miss
transmissions.
