DELAY
Many agencies use a two-way radio system that has a period of several seconds between
a query and a reply. To avoid missing a reply, you can program a 2-second delay into any
channel or frequency. When your scanner stops on a channel or frequency with a
programmed delay,
DLY
appears and the scanner continues to monitor that channel or
frequency for 2 seconds after the transmission stops before resuming scanning, searching,
or tuning.
You can program a 2-second delay in any of these ways:
• If the scanner is scanning and stops on an active channel, quickly press
DELAY /• before it
resumes scanning.
• If the desired channel is not selected, manually select the channel, then press DELAY /• .
• If the scanner is searching or tuning, press
DELAY /• .
DLY
appears and the scanner
automatically adds a 2-second delay to every transmission it stops on in that band.
To turn off the 2-second delay in a channel or for all frequency, press
DELAY /• while the
scanner is monitoring that channel or frequency.
DLY
disappears.
LOCKING OUT CHANNELS OR FREQUENCIES
You can increase the effective scanning or search speed by locking out individual channels
or frequencies that have a continuous transmission, such as a weather channel (see
“National Weather Frequencies” on Page 29) or a birdie frequency (see “Birdie
Frequencies” on Page 29).
Locking Out Channels
To lock out a channel during scanning, press L/O/L/O RVW when the scanner stops on the
channel.
To manually lock out a channel, select the channel then press
L/O/L/O RVW until
L/O
appears.
