Notes
•
The attenuator is very effective at reducing strong signal overload interference when
using the scanner in areas close to cellular telephone transmitting facilities, like the
tower shown on Page 67.
•
If you turn on the attenuator, the scanner might not receive weak signals.
•
Activating the normal attenuator mode on a Motorola or APCO Project 25 trunking
control channel will apply attenuation to all calls received on that trunking system.
You can press ATT during a trunking call or while manually tuned to a system control
channel to toggle attenuation on or off for the trunking system.
