• To ensure proper scanning, adjust SQUELCH

manually selecting a channel
You can continuously monitor a single channel
without scanning. This is useful if you want to
monitor a specific channel, or hear an emergency
broadcast on a channel and do not want to miss any
details, even though there might be periods of
silence.
To manually select a channel, press HOLD, enter the
channel number then press HOLD again.
Or, during scanning, if the radio stops at a channel
you want to listen to, press HOLD once. (Repeatedly
pressing HOLD at this time causes the scanner to
step through the channels.) Press SCAN to resume
automatic scanning.
signal stalker
Your scanner’s Signal Stalker feature lets you set the
scanner to detect and display the frequency of
nearby strong radio transmissions. Signal Stalker
can work “in the background” while you are
scanning other frequencies, or you can turn off
normal scanning while Signal Stalker is working.
You can set the scanner so it alerts you when Signal
Stalker finds a frequency. You can also set the
frequency band where you want the scanner to look
for transmissions.
