appears.
Search Speeds
The scanner has two search speeds: Normal
search at 90 steps/second and Hypersearch at 270
steps/second.
Hypersearch applies only to the 5 kHz step bands
(25–54 MHz, 137–174 MHz, and 216–224.9950 MHz).
Signal Stalker I
Signal Stalker I detects and displays the frequency
of nearby strong radio transmissions. Signal
Stalker I works well for locating mobile and
handheld two way radios in areas with no other
strong transmission sources.
Signal Stalker I might not correctly display
frequency information for transmitters using a
highly directive antenna (such as an amateur radio
beam antenna), if there are many transmitters
operating at the same time in the same area, or if
the transmitter is a broadcast television station.

Signal Stalker I if it is on. (See

“Signal found!”
appears. Press any key to confirm the displayed
frequency. Press
