Backlight and Power
LCD Back Light – Makes the display easy to see in dim light. You can adjust the back light so it turns on when you press a key, when squelch breaks during a transmission, or manually.
Low Battery Alert – The scanner alerts you if the batteries need to be recharged or replaced.
Battery Save – You can set the scanner so it reduces the amount of power it needs if there are no transmissions.
Key Controls
Key Lock – You can deactivate the scanner’s keys to help prevent accidentally changing the scanner’s programming.
Key Beep – You can control whether the scanner beeps when you press a key.
PC Control and Cloning
PC Control – You can transfer programming data to and from your scanner and your personal computer, and control the scanner using a computer. This helps you find frequencies listed on the Internet and load them into the scanner.
Clone Mode – You can clone all programmed data, including the contents of the scanner’s memory, menu settings, and other parameters from one SC230 scanner to another SC230 scanner.
