Channel - a programmable memory location. Channels are grouped into channel-storage banks. Your scanner has 10 channel- storage banks and each bank has 100 channels.

Channel-Storage Banks - Groups of channels, used for frequency storage.

Data Skip - allows your scanner to skip unwanted data transmissions and reduces birdies.

Highway Patrol/State Police Alert - warns you when you are within about 3 miles of highway patrol/state police units.

Hypersearch - increases the search speed to 300 steps per second for search ranges with 5 kHz steps.

Multi-Track- tracks more than one trunking system at a time. You can scan conventional and trunked systems at the same time.

PC Programmable - allows you to easily program all frequencies and trunking talk groups into your scanner through a software running on your PC.

SAME Weather Alert - automatically sounds the alarm tone to advice of the hazardous weather condition and indicate the event of the weather condition.

Service Banks - preset groups of frequencies categorized by the type of services that use those frequencies.

Signal Stalker - lets you set the scanner so it detects then displays the frequency of a nearby strong radio transmission.

Skywarn - lets you jump directly to the last channel in memory (Channel 1000) from any transmission. You can program this channel with the frequency of your local Skywarn broadcaster.

Trunk Tracking - lets you follow VHF high band, UHF 800MHz trunked public safety, and public service systems just as if conventional two-way communications were used.
