3:SYSTEM OPTION 7:DATA SKIP
1:ON
The scanner skips data frequencies.
2:OFF
Data skip is turned off.
Note: Even with this option turned on, the scanner might
pause for a couple of seconds on data transmissions
before resuming.
Skipping Frequencies
If a particular frequency continues to interrupt search
scanning, it is possible to set your scanner to skip the
frequency.
To skip over a frequency, press L/O when the scanner is
stopped on a frequency you want to skip.
Notes: You can program up to 200 skip frequencies. The
201st skip frequency entered causes the first
skipped frequency to unlock.
If all frequencies in the search range are set to
skip, a beep sounds and it moves to Search Hold
mode. To resume searching:
1) Unskip all skipped frequencies
—- OR —-
2) Select a different Search Frequency range.
To unskip all skipped frequencies, press and hold
L/O for 2 seconds in Search Hold mode.
Storing Found Frequencies
If you find a frequency you want to save into a channel,
simply press TRNSFR when the scanner is stopped on that
frequency. The scanner displays the lowest-numbered empty
channel. Use the scroll bar to select the channel you want to
save the frequency into, then press E.
Notes: If you have already stored this frequency, the scan-
ner displays WARNING DUPLICATE and the chan-
nel where the frequency is stored. To store the fre-
quency anyway, press E again.
After you store the frequency, the scanner resumes
searching.
If all channels are used, the scanner defaults to the
last-used channel prior to entering the search mode.
