The Basics

2.Service Scanning -- press FUNC + SVC to select one of the service banks to ﬁnd an active frequency.

3.Band Search -- select a frequency band to search. The search function is different from scanning. It searches for any active frequency step by step within the lower and upper limits of the band. When an active frequency is found, the scanner will stop and stay on that frequency as long as that transmission lasts. If that frequency is interesting to you, press HOLD/RESUME to hold the frequency on the display. Then program it into the private bank you want to store. If you do not want to program that frequency, press HOLD/RESUME or just wait until the transmission ends. The search resumes automatically 2 seconds after the last transmission and looks for more active frequencies.

4.Private Scanning -- the private bank is where you program frequencies you want to store into channels. Press PVT to scan frequencies you have programmed in this bank.

To program frequencies, see “Storing Known Frequencies into Channels”. When scanning stops on an active frequency, it remains on that channel as long as the transmission continues. When the transmission ends, the scanner will remain on the same channel for 2 more seconds, waiting for a responding transmission. If no responding transmission occurs within 2 seconds, the scanning cycle resumes.
