Beyond the Basics

due to their high transmitter output power. You can press L/OUT when the Signal Stalker II stops on these undesired transmissions to prevent the Signal Stalker II from stopping on them in future sweeps, however, the Signal Stalker II will still see their RF signal energy when sweeping through the 1 MHz segment. This will cause the Signal Stalker II to execute another ﬁne step search of the 1 MHz segment. Of course, if you have locked out the undesired transmissions, the Signal Stalker II will not stop on them again, however, the overall sweep performance of the Signal Stalker II will be impacted.

Signal Stalker II features a special lockout mode that causes the scanner to skip a 1 MHz segment if ﬁve or more lockouts exist in that 1 MHz segment. To activate this mode, press FUNC e while in the Signal Stalker II mode. If a 1 MHz segment contains 5 or more lockouts it will be skipped entirely while Signal Stalker II is sweeping. Use FUNC L/O to review or clear locked Signal Stalker II frequencies.

To clear a locked-out frequency, select that frequency, then press CL.

scanning the channels

To begin scanning channels or to start scanning again after monitoring a speciﬁc channel, press SCAN.

	Notes	You must store frequencies into channels before the
	Notes	scanner can scan them. The scanner does not scan
		scanner can scan them. The scanner does not scan
		through empty channels.

To change the scanning direction, press e or d.

The scanner scans through all channels (except those you have locked out) in the active banks (see “Turning Channel- Storage Banks Off and On”and “Locking Out Channels or Frequencies”).
