Signal Stalker II Object (STLK)
A Signal Stalker Object (STLK) stores the parameters necessary for
the radio to rapidly sweep a range of frequencies for strong signals
from nearby transmitters. A STLK object can be used for standalone
operation—the radio just sweeps and stops when activity is detected,
or for stalking that is performed while the radio is scanning. During
scanning, the radio will check for activity on all the enabled Scannable
Objects: TGRP objects, CONV objects, LMIT objects and STLK objects.
Essential Parameters
By default, a newly created STLK object is ready to go without any
changes. In its default configuration, the STLK object will sweep
through all of the important land mobile radio bands and look for
strong signal activity from nearby transmitters. You may wish to
include or exclude some bands in your sweeps in order to check other
frequency ranges or to limit the amount of time the scanner spends
sweeping frequency ranges where local transmitter activity is less
likely. See
“Appendix B: Detailed Menu Reference: STLK Menu”
on page 113
