SPECIAL FEATURES
DELAY
Many agencies use a two-way radio system that has a period of
several seconds between a query and a reply. To avoid missing
a reply, you can program a 2-second delay into any channel or
set a delay for all frequencies. When your scanner stops on a
channel or frequency with a programmed delay,
DLY
appears
and the scanner continues to monitor that channel or frequency
for 2 seconds after the transmission stops before resuming
scanning or searching.
You can program a 2-second delay in any of these ways:
• If the scanner is scanning and stops on an active channel,
quickly press
DELAY/
•
before it resumes scanning.
• If the desired channel is not selected, manually select the
channel, then press
DELAY/
•
.
• If the scanner is searching, press
DELAY/
•
.
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 in a channel or for all frequencies,
press
DELAY/
•
while the scanner is monitoring that channel or
frequency.
DLY
disappears.
LOCKING OUT CHANNELS OR
FREQUENCIES
You can increase the effective scanning or search speed by
locking out individual channels or frequencies that have a con-
tinuous transmission, such as a weather channel (see “National
Weather Frequencies” on Page 41) or a birdie frequency (see
“Birdie Frequencies” on Page 41).
Locking Out Channels
To lock out a channel during scanning, press
L/O / L/O RVW
when the scanner stops on the channel.
To manually lock out a channel, select the channel then hold
down
L/O / L/O RVW
until
L/O
appears.
