Setting Data Skip
The scanner normally stops on any frequency with activity, and remains there until either the activity stops or you press SRC to resume scanning. However, some signals are identifiable by the scanner as data signals, and you can set the scanner to automatically skip these channels.
Note: Even with this option turned on, the scanner might pause for a couple of seconds on data transmissions before resuming.
To turn on data skip, press DATA.
Skipping Frequencies
If a particular frequency continues to interrupt search scanning, you can set the scanner so it skips the frequency. To skip over a frequency, press L/O when the scanner is stopped on a frequency you want to skip.
Notes:
•You can program up to 100 skip frequencies. The 101st skip frequency entered causes the first skipped frequency to unlock.
•If all frequencies in the search range are set to skip, a beep sounds and it moves to search hold mode. To resume searching:
a.Unskip all skipped frequencies
b. Select a different search frequency range.
To unskip all skipped frequencies, hold down L/O for about 2 seconds in search hold mode.
Storing Found Frequencies
If you find a frequency you want to save into a channel, follow these steps.
1.Press E or SEND when the scanner is stopped on that frequency. All the bank indica- tors flash.
2.Select the bank where you want to send the frequency. The display alternates between the frequency you are sending and the lowest available channel in the bank. If there is no free channel in the bank, the scanner automatically selects the first channel in the bank you selected.
3.Press E.
Note: If you have already stored this frequency, the scanner displays a warning and the channel where the frequency is stored. To store the frequency anyway, press E again.
