Set the P25 Threshold mode to Manual in Site Options or System Options for a Conventional channel.

Press Func then Dept to hold on a Site or Channel to hold on a digital Channel.

The first line on the display now shows the digital error rate and the decode threshold setting (0-20). The second line on the display shows the decode threshold levels for the site.

Allow the scanner to monitor the site or channel for several minutes. The error rate should drop for each transmission and the threshold levels should automatically adjust to a more optimal setting. Then, once the threshold level settles to a stable setting, make a note of the value. This is the site’s or channel’s optimum decode threshold.

Press Func and rotate the Scroll Control to set the MAN decode threshold start level to a setting that most closely matches the system’s optimum decode threshold. Whatever you set at this point will be remembered for this site as the starting point for the auto-tuning function for subsequent transmission on site. See also P25 Threshold Level.

Using a GPS

Location-Based Scanning

You can connect the scanner to a compatible GPS device and set the scanner to automatically Avoid and Unavoid Departments and Sites based on your current location. This frees you from having to manually enable and disable Departments and Sites as you change locations.
