The Basics

searching and tuning

You can search for transmissions using the scanner’s preprogrammed search banks. The search banks include six preprogrammed search ranges, SR0 to SR5. You can change the search range of Bank SR6 manually by setting the lower and higher ends of the search range.

Notes	You can use the scanner’s delay feature while searching.
	See “Using Delay”.

You can set CTCSS or DCS mode when searching any range, except for SR0, SR1, and SR4. The scanner will display detected CTCSS or DCS codes depending on the mode setting. See “Using CTCSS and DCS”.

The scanner does not search locked-out frequencies while searching ranges.

You can use PAUSE to temporarily pause searching. The scanner will remain on the frequency that was active when PAUSE was pressed until you press PAUSE again.

You can simply listen to the radio trafﬁc on the paused frequency, or copy the frequency to a channel before resuming your search.
