displays at (or disappears from) the top of the screen, showing the currently enabled banks.
The scanner scans all the channels within the displayed banks that are not locked out. The bank number flashes when the scanner scans a channel that belongs to that bank.
You can manually select any channel within a bank, even if that bank is disabled. You cannot, however, disable all banks. One bank must always be enabled.
Scan the Stored Channels
Press Scan. The scanner scans through all
Notes:
•If you have not stored frequencies into any channels, the scanner does not scan.
•If the scanner picks up unwanted partial or very weak transmissions, press Func and press the scroll control knob. SqL displays. Turn the knob clockwise to decrease the scanner’s sensitivity to these signals. To listen to a weak or distant station, turn the knob counterclockwise.
•Adjust squelch until the audio mutes.
Manually Select a Channel
You can continuously monitor a single channel without scanning. This is useful if you hear an emergency broadcast on a channel and do not want to miss any details - even though there might be periods of silence - or if you want to monitor a specific channel.
