Notes:
•
Signal Stalker works well for locating the source
of strong local transmissions such as mobile
and handheld two-way radios in areas with no
other strong transmission sources. However, if
you are in an area with many transmission
sources (such as pager radio transmitters, multi-
use radio towers, traffic control devices, etc.),
Signal Stalker might not find the transmission
you are searching for, or it might find a
transmission other than the one you are
searching for. You can screen unwanted
transmissions by pressing FUNC + L/O to lock
them out. See “locking out frequencies” on
Page 49 for more information.
•
Signal Stalker cannot detect satellite dishes or
any transmitter with a frequency above or below
the frequency ranges listed under “setting the
signal stalker options” on Page 33.
•
Signal Stalker works better with some types of
transmissions than others. It might not correctly
display frequency information for transmitters
using a highly directive antenna (such as an
amateur radio beam antenna), if there are many
transmitters operating at the same time in the
same area, or if the transmitter is a broadcast
television station.
•
The scanner’s pager screening feature lets it
ignore common pager frequencies.
