6 Features
20 Channel-Storage Banks
— you can store up to 50
channels in each of 10 different banks, in two separate
groups, for a total of 1000 channels, so you can more
easily identify calls.
Five Scan Lists
— you can store up to 50 trunking talk
group IDs in each trunk scanning bank.
Digital Weather Alert
— uses the digital SAME (specific
area message encoding) signal transmitted with weather
alerts to identify the type of alert being issued.
Note:
This scanner does not use the specific area fea-
ture of SAME. It responds to all alerts received.
Two-Second Scan Delay
— delays scanning for about
2 seconds before moving to another channel, so you can
hear more replies that are made on the same channel.
Lock-Out Function
— lets you set your scanner to skip
over specified channels or frequencies when scanning
or searching, and skip over talk group IDs when tracking
trunked systems.
Priority Channels
— lets you program one channel in
each bank (20 in all) and then have the scanner check
that channel every 2 seconds while it scans the bank, so
you do not miss transmissions on those channels.
Five Service Banks
— frequencies are preset in sepa-
rate police (fire/emergency), aircraft, ham, marine, and
weather banks, to make it easy to locate specific types of
calls.
Auto Backlight
— automatically turns on the backlight
when the scanner receives signals.
Simultaneous Trunking Operation
— allows the scan-
ner to trunk two trunking systems, Motorola and EDACS,
at the same time, as well as conventional systems.
Hypersearch
— lets you set the scanner to search at
up to 300 steps per second in frequency bands with 5
kHz steps, compared to the normal search speed of 100
steps per second.
