Using Delay
Many conversations might have a pause of several seconds between a query
and a reply. To avoid missing a reply, you can program a 2-second delay into
any of your scanner’s channels. Then, when the scanner stops on the channel,
DLY
appears and the scanner continues to monitor the channel for 2 seconds
after the transmission stops before it resumes scanning. The delay feature is
also available while searching.
Note:
Delay is automatically set as the default for each channel when you turn
on the scanner.
To turn delay on or off, press •
/DELAY
.
DLY
(delay on) or
dly
(delay off) appears
on the display.

channels or frequencies that have a continuous transmission, such as a weather
