OPERATION
skipping FREQUENCIES AND PRESETS
See Figure 20.
The skip feature can be used to skip up to five preset race frequencies (PRESET SCAN MODE) or up to twenty race frequencies when scanning the entire race band (NORMAL SCAN MODE).
To skip any desired frequency:
Tune to the frequency you want to skip.
Press and hold the BB/SKIP button located above the display for three seconds. SKIP will then appear on the LCD display.
To skip a preset frequency:
Select the frequency you want to skip by pressing its memory location number on the keypad.
Press and hold the BB/SKIP button located above the display for three seconds. SKIP will then appear on the LCD display, and the frequency will be scanned normally.
To restore a skipped frequency:
Tune to or select the skipped frequency you want to restore.
Press and hold the BB/SKIP button located above the display for three seconds. SKIP will then be removed from the LCD display.
To clear the SKIP from all race channels at once, press and hold the Backspace/Clear button for ten seconds.
This does not remove the SKIPs from any preset scan mode channels. SKIPs for presets must be cleared manually.
squelch control
See Figure 21.
You can use the SQUELCH control dial to tune to stronger signals without interference or static.
To set SQUELCH:
Rotate the dial fully counterclockwise and adjust the volume to an audible level. A hissing static sound will be heard.
Slowly rotate the dial clockwise until the hissing static sound stops.
The squelch is now properly set.
To allow all signals to be heard:
Rotate the dial counterclockwise to allow multiple signals to be heard, including signals with lower strength.
NOTE: Rotating the SQUELCH control fully counter- clockwise will allow the unit to lock on to the nearest channel (next higher frequency) in the scan progression, and the progression of channels displayed will virtually STOP. Scanning will resume with further increases of the SQUELCH control.
