SPECIAL FEATURES
DELAY
Many agencies use a two-way radio system that 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,
DELAY
appears and the scanner continues to monitor the channel
for 2 seconds after the transmission stops before it re-
sumes scanning.
You can program a 2-second delay in any of these ways:
•
If the scanner is scanning and stops on an active
channel, quickly press
DLY
before it starts to scan
again.
•
If the desired channel is not selected, manually select
the channel then press
DLY
.
•
If the scanner is searching, press
DLY
during the
search.
DELAY
appears and the scanner automatically adds a 2-
second delay to every transmission it stops on.
To turn off the delay, press
DLY
when
DELAY
is displayed.
LOCKING OUT A CHANNEL
You can scan existing channels faster by locking out a
channel that has a continuous transmission, such as a
weather channel.
To lock out a channel, select the channel then press
L-OUT
.
L/O
appears.
