mistake, press Clr then enter the correct frequency. To enter
the frequency anyway, press E to accept.
Scanning the Stored Channels
To begin scanning channels, press Scan. The scanner scans
through all non-locked channels in the activated banks (see
also page 23 and “Turning Channel-Storage Banks On and
Off” on Page 24). When the scanner finds a transmission, it
stops on it. When the transmission ends, the scanner resumes
scanning.
Notes:
• If you have not stored frequencies into any channels, the
scanner does not scan.
• If the scanner picks up unwanted partial, or very weak
transmissions, turn Squelch clockwise to decrease the
scanner's sensitivity to these signals. To listen to a weak
or distant station, turn Squelch counterclockwise.
• To ensure proper scanning, adjust Squelch until the
audio mutes.
Manually Selecting a Channel
You can continuously monitor a single channel without
scanning. This is useful if you hear an emergency broadcast
on a channel and do not want to miss any details - even
though there might be periods of silence - or if you want to
monitor a specific channel.
• To manually select a channel, press Hold, enter the
channel number then press Hold again.
Or, during scanning, if the radio stops at a channel you want
to listen to, press Hold once. (Repeatedly pressing Hold at
this time causes the scanner to step through the channels.)
Press Scan to resume automatic scanning.
Frequency Search
This feature lets you search through preset frequency ranges.
You can also change each range to a range you set. There
are three modes within this feature: chain search mode,
chain search hold mode, and program band select mode.
The preset frequency ranges are:
10 Search Bands Band Plan 1
