Beyond the Basics
to see if the ID is stored in the associated ID list. In Closed Mode,
the scanner only stops on the transmission and displays it’s text
tag if the ID is stored and not locked out. In Open Mode, the
scanner stops on all transmissions except those you specifi cally
lock out, and the ID’s text tag appears if the ID is stored.
V-Scanner – contains a complete, stored confi guration profi le
of your scanner’s programming. V-scanner lets you store
or recall up to 11 scanner confi gurations in folders on your
scanner, without using a personal computer. You can use V-
Scanner to build and store confi gurations for different areas or
different scanner applications. You can use the cloning feature
to exchange scanner confi gurations with your friends without
losing your existing data. V-Scanner also lets you back up
your programmed data without connecting your scanner to a
personal computer. Each V-Scanner folder stores all channel
storage banks, channels, trunking IDs, search settings, and other
parameters associated with scanner operation.
AM Mode (AM) – sets the scanner to receive amplitude modulation
(AM) transmissions. AM is primarily used for aircraft, military, 27
MHz citizen’s band, some amateur radio, and some government
transmissions.
FM/Digital Mode (FM) – sets the scanner to receive
FM/Digital (FM) transmissions using frequency modulation
(FM) and APCO-25 digital modulation. FM is used for most
public safety transmissions, as well as broadcast, business, and
amateur radio transmissions.
CTCSS Mode (CT) – sets the scanner to receive transmissions
using frequency modulation (FM) with Continuous Tone Coded
Squelch System (CTCSS) subaudible tone codes. CTCSS allows
multiple users to share a single radio frequency without hearing
each other’s transmissions.
DCS Mode (DC) – sets the scanner to receive transmissions using
frequency modulation (FM) with Digital Coded Squelch (DCS)
subaudible data signaling.
Motorola/APCO-25 Trunking Mode (MO) – You can set your
scanner so it decodes talkgroup IDs used with Motorola and
APCO-25 trunking systems, and follows talkgroup calls in the
trunking system. This setting is called Motorola mode.
