SPECIAL FEATURES
DELAY
Many agencies use a two-way radio system that might
have a pause of several seconds between a query and
a reply. To avoid missing a reply, you can program a
2-second delay into any of your scanner’s channels.
Then, when the scanner stops on the channel,
DELAY
appears and the scanner continues to monitor the channel
for 2 seconds after the transmission stops before it re-
sumes scanning.
You can program a 2-second delay in any of these ways:
If the scanner is scanning and stops on an active
channel, quickly press
DLY
before it starts to scan
again.
If the desired channel is not selected, manually select
the channel then press
DLY
.
If the scanner is searching, press
DLY
during the
search.
DELAY
appears and the scanner automatically adds a 2-
second delay to every transmission it stops on.
To turn off the delay, press
DLY
when
DELAY
is displayed.
LOCKING OUT A CHANNEL
You can scan existing channels faster by locking out a
channel that has a continuous transmission, such as a
weather channel.
To lock out a channel, select the channel then press
L-OUT
.
L/O
appears.
