key so the bank’s number disappears. For example, to turn off bank 1, press 1. The scanner does not scan any of the channels within the banks you turned off.

To turn on banks while scanning, press the number key until the bank’s number appears. For example to turn bank 1 on again, press 1.

The power save mode works by allowing the receiver to “sleep” briefly while waiting for a call on the selected channel. The power save circuit is disabled when the scanner is tuned to a channel in program mode.

using CTCSS and DCS

Your scanner’s advanced, DSP-based CTCSS and DCS decoder allows you to listen only to the group that is of interest to you by specifying the group’s specific CTCSS or DCS code for a certain frequency. CTCSS and DCS can also help reduce instances where interfering signals cause your
