RF Capture Technology - you can set the
scanner so it detects and provides information about
nearby radio transmissions. See “Using the Close Call
Feature” on Page 83 for more information.
Dynamically Allocated Channel Memory - your
scanner’s memory is organized so that it more closely
matches how radio systems actually work, making it easier
to program and use your scanner and determine how
much memory you have used and how much you have left.
Preprogrammed Systems - your scanner is
preprogrammed with over 400 channels covering police,
fire, and ambulance operations in the 25 most populated
counties in the US. A complete list of the scanner’s
preprogrammed systems is in “” on Page 119.
Quick Keys – You can set the scanner so you can select
systems and groups by pressing a single key. This makes
it easy to listen to or quickly lock out those systems or
groups you don’t want to scan.
Pager Screen – You can set the scanner so it ignores hits
generated by common pager frequencies while using the
Close Call or search features.
Ten Service Searches - frequencies are preset in
separate public safety, news, amateur radio, marine,
railroad, air, CB radio, FRS/GMRS, racing, and special
searches, to make it easy to find specific transmissions.
Lockout – You can lock out any system, group,
frequency, or channel while scanning. If you lock out a
system or group, any channels belonging to that system
or group are also locked out.
You can lock out up to 200 frequencies. The scanner
skips locked-out frequencies while using the Close Call
feature or while searching.
CTCSS and DCS Squelch Modes – prevent
interference from stations not using the mode you select.
