Search Speeds
The scanner has two search speeds: Normal
search at 55 steps/second and Hypersearch at 160
steps/second.
Hypersearch applies only to the 5 kHz step bands
(25–27.995 MHz, 28–54 MHz, and 137–174 MHz).
Signal Stalker I
Signal Stalker I detects and then displays the
frequency of nearby strong radio transmissions.
Signal Stalker I works well for locating mobile and
handheld two way radios in areas with no other
strong transmission sources.
Signal Stalker I 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.
Using Signal Stalker I
To turn on Signal Stalker I, turn SQUELCH fully
clockwise, then press and hold SCAN/
.
The
icon appears. (In Only mode, the icon flashes.)
Every 2 seconds, the scanner searches for active
frequencies in the range you specify in “Setting the
Signal Stalker I Options.”

according to its settings and
“Found” appears.
Press any key to confirm the displayed frequency.
Press T or S to resume scanning.
To turn off Signal Stalker I and turn on normal
scanning, press and hold SCAN/

weather search or programming mode.
