To change the receive mode, repeatedly press MODE. The
receive mode changes as follows:
AM confi gures an AM channel.
FM/DIGITAL confi gures an FM/Digital channel.
CT confi gures a CTCSS channel.
DC confi gures a DCS channel.
MO confi gures a MO channel for analog or
digital Motorola trunking system channels,
or APCO-25 trunking system channels.
ED confi gures an ED channel for EDACS
trunking system channels.
MO and ED modes are not available when performing service
searches, limit searches and the TUNE function.
using attenuator
To reduce interference or noise caused by strong signals,
you can reduce the scanner’s sensitivity with the attenuator.
There are two attenuator modes in your scanner. Normal
attenuator mode allows you to set the attenuator on a
per-channel basis. Normal mode is useful when individual
channels are found to be prone to interference. Global
attenuator mode applies attenuation to every channel in the
scanner, and overrides any normal mode attenuator settings
that you may have entered.
To assign attenuation to a channel in the scanner, press
ATT when the scanner is stopped on a channel, or manually
navigate to a channel. A appears on the top of the display.
Press ATT again to turn attenuation off.
To assign attenuation to a search bank, press ATT while
searching. Attenuation will be applied to the active search
bank, or search group within a search bank. Press ATT again
to turn attenuation off.
