Beyond the Basics
using Signal Stalker II
Your scanner’s Signal Stalker II functions when you press
and hold
for approximately 1 second. The Signal Stalker
II function can be set to watch for activity on all band
frequencies or Police/Fire frequencies only. To change the all
bands to police/fi re or vice versa, press FUNC then
.
You can also turn on/off frequency sub-bands using the
corresponding number keys while Signal Stalker II is active.
Priority mode is not available while using the Signal
Stalker II.
Press FUNC then e or d , you can change the normal Signal
Stalker II operation to the Special Signal Stalker II operation.
In the Special Stalker operation, Sp. Stalker appears and the
frequency range is divided by 1 MHz segment. If you lock
out 5 frequencies within a 1 MHz segment, the scanner will
skip that segment in subsequent sweeps. See “Using Signal
Stalker II with Lockout” below.
using Signal Stalker II with lockout
The scanner’s lock out feature can be used to bypass
unwanted transmissions while using the Signal Stalker II.
Press L/OUT when the scanner is stopped on an undesired
transmission. Press FUNC L/OUT to review or clear locked out
frequencies in the Signal Stalker II. You can lock out 150
frequencies while searching all bands and 50 frequencies
while searching Police/Fire frequencies.
Signal Stalker II functions by rapidly sweeping through the RF
spectrum in 1 MHz segments. If RF signal energy is detected
in a 1 MHz segment, Signal Stalker II will sweep through the
1MHz segment in fi ner steps until the source of the RF signal
energy is found.
Certain segments of RF spectrum are used by high power
transmitters, such as paging transmitters. The Signal Stalker
II can detect these transmitters easily, even at great distances
