where lsTGID shows the decoded talkgroup ID data from
the lowspeed data stream

Please note that the analog lowspeed data protocol does

not provide error correction, and some false “VC: lsTGID”
readings should be expected.

You may wish to use the ADV0801’s Tune LED feature to obtain a visual indication of signal
strength using the tri-color LED. To activate the Tune LED, press PGM, then the GLOB softkey.

Press the v key until Tune LED: Off appears in the display. Use the < > keys to toggle Tune

LED on or off, then press the SAVE softkey to save your changes to the radio’s configuration
memory.

Using dedicated Limit and Service search modes

The SRCH key provides immediate access to the dedicated search modes of your ADV0801.

Pressing the SRCH key cycles through each search mode in this order: Limit, Railroad, Public
Safety, Aircraft, Ham, CB, Marine, and FRS/GMRS/MURS/DOT.

LMIT Search Mode

Your scanner’s dedicated LMIT search mode provides you with the ability to create a limit
search with a search frequency range between upper and lower limit frequencies that you

specify and perform the limit search directly without creating a new LMIT object. You can then

monitor that frequency range for transmissions.

To enter LMIT mode, press the SRCH key on the keypad repeatedly until the display indicates

LMIT search.

Use the Lmts softkey to set the lower and upper frequency limits for your limit search.
