SPECIAL FEATURES
DELAY
Many agencies use a two-way radio system that might
have a period of 2 or more seconds between a query
and a reply. To keep from missing a reply, you can pro-
gram a 2-second delay into any channel or frequency.
The scanner continues to monitor the frequency for 2
seconds after the transmission stops before resuming
scanning or searching.
To program a 2-second delay:
• If the scanner is scanning channel-storage banks
and stops on an active channel where you want to
store a delay, quickly press
DLY
before it continues
scanning again.
DLY
appears.
• If the desired channel is not
selected, manually select the
channel, then press
DLY
.
DLY
appears.
•
If the scanner is scanning service banks, press
DLY
while the scanner is scanning.
DLY
appears and
the scanner automatically adds a 2-second delay
to every transmission it stops on in that band.
To turn off the 2-second delay, press
DLY
while the scan-
ner is monitoring the channel or scanning the service
banks.
DLY
disappears from the display.
