Special Features
USING THE DELAY FUNCTION
Note:
Delay is automatically set as the default for each
channel when you turn on the scanner.
Many conversations might have a pause of several sec-
onds 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,
D
appears and the scanner continues to
monitor the channel for 2 seconds after the transmission
stops before it resumes scanning or searching.
To turn delay on or off, press
FUNC
then
DELAY
