The Basics
quick start
To help familiarize yourself with the scanner’s
functions, keypad, and available frequencies, you can
utilize one of these four features before you begin
programming the scanner.
Signal Stalker II
— searches nearby strong signals
quickly. See “Signal Stalker II”.
Preprogrammed Search Banks
— allow you to listen to
frequencies and decide which frequencies you want to
store when you are ready to program the scanner. See
“Searching a Preprogrammed Frequency Range”.
Manual Tuning
— allows you to manually move
through the entire range of available frequencies. (See
“Specifi cations” for a list of the available frequency
ranges.)
Weather Radio
— allows you to listen to NOAA
weather broadcasts without programming. See
“Listening to the Weather Band”.
understanding your scanner’s modes
You can program each channel with any of seven
receive modes (AM, FM, CT, DC, MO, ED, and LT).
Each receive mode affects how your scanner operates
when scanning and receiving transmissions.
Trunked modes (MO, ED and LT) can only be
selected for frequencies above 137 MHz.
Your scanner’s closed mode lets you hear only
those trunking talkgroups you specify. For more
information, see “Open and Closed Modes”.
