scanning the stored channels
To begin scanning channels, press

channels in the activated banks. (See “locking out channels” and “turning channel-storage
banks on and off”). When the scanner finds a transmission, it stops on it. When the
transmission ends, the scanner resumes scanning.
Notes:
•
If you have not stored frequencies into any channels, the scanner does not scan.
•
If the scanner picks up unwanted partial, or very weak transmissions, turn

•
To listen to a weak or distant station, turn

delay
Sometimes a user might pause before replying to a transmission. To avoid missing a reply

after the transmission stops before resuming scanning or searching.
Depending on the scanner operation, follow one of these steps to turn off or on a delay.
• To turn off the 2-second delay, press
