5. Repeat Steps 2–4 to store the remaining monitor
memory frequencies into channels, as necessary.
SCANNING THE STORED CHANNELS
To begin scanning channels, press
SCAN
. The scanner
scans through all non-locked channels in the activated
banks. (See “Locking Out Channels” on Page 32 and
“Turning Channel-Storage Banks On and Off” on
Page 31). When the scanner finds a transmission, it
stops on it. When the transmission ends, the scanner re-
sumes scanning.
Notes:
• If you have not stored frequencies into any chan-
nels, the scanner does not scan.
• If the scanner picks up unwanted partial, or very
weak transmissions, turn
SQUELCH
clockwise to
decrease the scanner’s sensitivity to these signals.
To listen to a weak or distant station, turn
SQUELCH
counterclockwise.
• To ensure proper scanning, adjust
SQUELCH
until
the audio mutes.
• To scan in the trunk scanning mode, see “Trunking
Operation” on Page 38.
MANUALLY SELECTING A CHANNEL
You can continuously monitor a single channel without
scanning. This is useful if you hear an emergency broad-
cast on a channel and do not want to miss any details —
even though there might be periods of silence — or if
you want to monitor a specific channel.
To manually select a channel, press
MAN
, enter the
channel number then press
MAN
again.
Or, during scanning, if the radio stops at a channel you
want to listen to, press
MAN
one time. (Repeatedly
pressing
MAN
at this time causes the scanner to step
through the channels.) Press
SCAN
to resume automatic
scanning.
