Signal Stalker I
Your scanner’ s Signal Stalker I feature
lets you set the scanner so it detects and
then displays the frequency of a nearby
strong radio transmission. You can set the
scanner so Signal Stalker I works “in the
background” while you are scanning other
frequencies; turn off normal scanning while
Signal Stalker I works; or turn off Signal
Stalker I and use the scanner normally. You
can set the scanner so it alerts you when
Signal Stalker I nds a frequency. You can
also set the frequency band where you
want the scanner to look for transmissions.
You can also turn on the pager screening
feature so the scanner ignores common
pager frequencies.
Note: Signal Stalker I works well for
locating the source of strong local
transmissions, such as mobile and
handheld two way radios in areas
with no other strong transmission
sources. You can screen unwanted
transmissions by pressing L/O to
lock them out. See “search skip
memory” for more information. It
might not correctly display frequency
information for transmitters using a
highly directive antenna (such as an
amateur radio beam antenna), if there
are many transmitters operating
at the same time in the same area,
