AM	conﬁgures an AM channel.
FM/DIGITAL	conﬁgures an FM/Digital channel.
CT	conﬁgures a CTCSS channel.
DC	conﬁgures a DCS channel.
MO	conﬁgures a MO channel for analog or
	digital Motorola trunking system channels,
	or APCO-25 trunking system channels.
ED	conﬁgures an ED channel for EDACS
	trunking system channels.

MO and ED modes are not available when performing service searches, limit searches and the TUNE function.

using attenuator

To reduce interference or noise caused by strong signals, you can reduce the scanner’s sensitivity with the attenuator. There are two attenuator modes in your scanner. Normal attenuator mode allows you to set the attenuator on a per-channel basis. Normal mode is useful when individual channels are found to be prone to interference. Global attenuator mode applies attenuation to every channel in the scanner, and overrides any normal mode attenuator settings that you may have entered.

To assign attenuation to a channel in the scanner, press ATT when the scanner is stopped on a channel, or manually navigate to a channel. A appears on the top of the display. Press ATT again to turn attenuation off.

To assign attenuation to a search bank, press ATT while searching. Attenuation will be applied to the active search bank, or search group within a search bank. Press ATT again to turn attenuation off.
