CHANGING THE RECEIVE MODE
The scanner is preset to the most common AM or FM re-
ceive mode for each frequency range. The preset mode
is correct in most cases. However, some amateur radio
transmissions and trunked systems do not operate in the
preset mode. If you try to listen to a transmission when
the scanner is not set to the correct receive mode, the
transmission might sound weak or distorted.
If you want to listen to and watch the private line or trunk-
ing transmission in the closed mode, you need to change
the receive mode. (PL, DPL, MOT, LTR, and ED all use
FM).
You can change a receive mode by pressing
MODE
. The
receive mode changes as follows:
