The
Delay time
interval can be set from 1 to 100 seconds.
The
Scan rate
controls the speed at which scanning occurs, by specifying the
maximum number of scanning steps per second. Note that the actual
maximum achievable scanning speed may be limited by the CPU speed of
your computer, as well as available memory and any background tasks that
the computer is currently performing.
When a signal is found and scanning pauses, waiting for the pre-set Delay
time to expire, the countdown timer will appear inside the
[<<]
or
[>>]
buttons.
If no
Delay
time was set and scanning is pausing until the signal disappears,
then the
[<<]
or
[>>]
button will flash.
Groups
The
Groups
setting is useful for
Memory Scanning
, which will be described
later: it serves to restrict
Memory Scanning
to particular memory groups only.
Exclusions
Sometimes it is desirable to exclude certain frequencies from scanning. This
means that such specified frequencies should be ignored even if the signal
level on these frequencies is higher than the squelch.
The WiNRADiO G305 receiver application makes it possible for multiple
frequency ranges to be excluded. This is done using the
Exclusions
button.
When you press this button, you will open an
Exclusions editor
window,
allowing you to enter a range of frequencies to be excluded.
For these exclusions to become active, check the
Enable excluding while
scanning
checkbox in this window.
Note that scanning speed can be affected by your CPU power and available
memory. CPU-intensive background processes can also slow down scanning.
Squelch modes that require more intensive signal processing compared to
plain Level-based squelch (such as Voice, Noise, CTCSS and DCS squelch
modes) may also exhibit different scanning speeds, depending on the CPU
power and the characteristics of the received signal.
