SPECIAL FEATURES
DELAY
Many agencies use a two-way radio system that might have a pause of several
seconds between a query and a reply. The scanner's delay feature lets it
wait for 2 seconds after each transmission on a channel or frequ ency while
scanning or searching.
To program a 2-second delay for a channel while scanning, manually select
the channel and press DELAY until DELAY appears. When the scanner stops on
the channel, it waits for 2 seconds after each transmission on that cha nnel
before it resumes scanning.
To program a 2-second delay for any active frequency while searching, press
DELAY until DELAY appears. When the scanner stops on a transmission, it
waits for 2 seconds after each transmission on that frequency before it
resumes searching.
USING THE ATT SWITCH
To reduce interference or noise caused by signals from a strong local
broadcaster, you can reduce the scanner's sensitivity to signals by setting
the ATT (attenuate) switch on the back of the scanner.
Switch ATT to 10dB to reduce the scanner's sensitivity, or 0dB to increase
the scanner's sensitivity.
NOTE: If you switch ATT to 10dB, the scanner might not receive weak
signals.
USING THE SOUND SQUELCH SWITCH
You can have the scanner skip frequencies that b roadcast only a carrier
signal (without an accompanying modulated signal) by setting the SOUND
SQUELCH switch on the front of the scanner. When SOUND SQUELCH is turned
on, the scanner continues scanning if it does not detect a modulated signal
on a frequency within 0.5 seconds.
NOTES: This feature works only while the scanner is scanning, searching,
or monitoring the priority channel.
The sound squelch feature might not work properly if the monitored
frequency contains a transmis sion with a low modulated signal.
To set sound squelch, press SOUND SQUELCH until the scanner beeps and the
SOUND SQUELCH indicator turns on. To turn off sound squelch, press SOUND
SQUELCH again.
If the scanner receives a frequency that broadcasts both a carrier and a
modulated signal, it stops scanning and monitors the frequency. If the
modulated signal stops being broadcast on the frequency, the scanner stays
on the frequency for 5 seconds, then resumes scanning. If the carrier
signal stops being broadcast on the frequency, the scanner resumes scanning
immediately unless DELAY is set.
