Resume Start — the scanner saves its settings when you turn the power off. This returns you to the function you were using if you acci- dentally turn the scanner off or the batteries are weak.

Triple-Conversion Circuitry — virtually eliminates any interference from IF (intermediate frequency) images, so you hear only the selected frequency.

Your scanner can receive these bands:
