Atten On or Off When on, applies 20 dB of attenuation to all
hits received on the STLK search. Useful in
areas where interference from nearby strong
signals is present.
Delay On or Off Controls whether a Delay is used to wait for
reply traffic after a transmission on the STLK
search.
Delay Time 1-250 x 100ms Sets the amount of time (in 100 millisecond
intervals) for the wait for reply delay if Delay is
On, e.g., 20=2 seconds.
Zeromatic On or Off When on, enhances the scanner’s ability to lock
on to the actual center frequency of a search
hit instead of an adjacent frequency.
Special On or Off STLK works by quickly sweeping the RF spec-
trum in 1 MHz increments to find nearby strong
signals. If the 1 MHz sweep indicates that activ-
ity is present in the 1 MHz range, STLK sweeps
that range to find the source.

is active.
Hit Count Numeric value Increments each time a transmission is
received on the STLK object. Global “Hit
Counts” must be set to ON. Press the Dflt
softkey to reset to 0.
Appendix C: Text Entry and QuickText
Your scanner uses a simple text entry method that allows entry of
all uppercase and lowercase letters of the alphabet, numbers, and
punctuation symbols. Your scanner also features QuickText, which
allows you to store up to 10 commonly used text items for instant
recall while editing alphanumeric fields.
Text Entry
To enter a letter in an alphanumeric text field, press the number key
below the letter you wish to type first, then press the number key
that corresponds with the position of the letter in the silk screen
group.
For example, the number 2 is used to access the letters A, B and
C. To type the letter A, press 2 to select the ABC group, then 1 to
select the first letter in the group. Likewise, to type the letter B, press
2 to select the ABC group, then press 2 again to select the second
letter in the group. And, to type the letter C, press 2, then 3 to select
the third letter in the group.
• To enter numbers in alphanumeric text fields, press 1 first, then
the number you wish to type.
• To enter punctuation, press 0 first to see the first set of
punctuation, then press the number key that corresponds with
the position of the desired punctuation mark in the set.
• To enter a space, press the . (period) key to enter a SPACE.
• While using Standard Text Entry, the FUNC key serves as a shift
key.
• For letters, uppercase text is typed by default, and you can shift
to lowercase by pressing FUNC before entering a character.
