Feature Highlights

General

Close CallTM RF Capture Technology - you can set the scanner so it detects and provides information about nearby radio transmissions. See “Using the Close Call Feature” on Page 72 for more information.

Dynamically Allocated Channel Memory - your scanner’s memory is organized so that it more closely matches how radio systems actually work, making it easier to program and use your scanner and determine how much memory you have used and how much you have left.

Preprogrammed Races - your scanner is preprogrammed with NASCAR Nextel, Busch, Craftsman, Indy, ARCA, and Champ series races.

Quick Race Programming – lets you quickly and easily enter information about a specific race.

Quick Keys – You can set the scanner so you can select a race or systems and groups by pressing a single key. This makes it easy to listen to or quickly lock out those systems or groups you don’t want to scan.

Quick Car Select – You can set the scanner so you can select and listen to a car by pressing a single key.

Pager Screen – You can set the scanner so it ignores hits generated by common pager frequencies while using the Close Call or search features.

Ten Service Searches - frequencies are preset in separate public safety, news, amateur radio, marine, railroad, air, CB radio, FRS/GMRS, racing, and special searches, to make it easy to find specific transmissions.

Lockout – You can lock out any system, group, frequency, or channel while scanning. If you lock out a system or group, any channels belonging to that system or group are also locked out.

You can lock out up to 200 frequencies. The scanner skips locked-out frequencies while using the Close Call feature or while searching.
