Dedicated Searches
Your scanner provides fast access to dedicated frequency search
modes that allow you to execute searches or run Signal Stalker II
without having to go through the process of setting up and saving a
search object. T his is handy for those times where you need to run
a search quickly. Dedicated search modes do not create new search
objects or use previously created search objects.
The SRCH key provides immediate access to the dedicated search
modes. Pressing the SRCH key cycles through each search mode in
this order: Limit, Railroad, Public Safety, Aircraft, Ham, CB, Marine,
and FRS/GMRS/MURS/DOT.
Dedicated LMIT Search
Your scanner’s dedicated LMIT search mode provides you with the
ability to create a limit search with a search frequency range between
upper and lower limit frequencies that you specify and perform the
limit search directly without creating a new LMIT object. You can then
monitor that frequency range for transmissions.
To enter LMIT mode:
1. Press
SRCH repeatedly until the display indicates LMIT search.
2. Press the Lmts softkey to set the lower and upper frequency
limits for your limit search.
Note: When a signal is being received, the Lmts softkey (F1)
changes to FrL/O. You can access the Lmts softkey by pressing
FUNC F1 when the F1 key function is FrL/O.
3. Press p or q to change the search direction.
4. Press the MODE softkey to change the receive mode (AM, FM,
NFM) from the default for the current frequency range (auto).
