Signal Stalker I

Your scanner’ s Signal Stalker I feature lets you set the scanner so it detects and then displays the frequency of a nearby strong radio transmission. You can set the scanner so Signal Stalker I works “in the background” while you are scanning other frequencies; turn off normal scanning while Signal Stalker I works; or turn off Signal Stalker I and use the scanner normally. You can set the scanner so it alerts you when Signal Stalker I ﬁnds a frequency. You can also set the frequency band where you want the scanner to look for transmissions. You can also turn on the pager screening feature so the scanner ignores common pager frequencies.

Note: Signal Stalker I works well for locating the source of strong local transmissions, such as mobile and handheld two way radios in areas with no other strong transmission sources. You can screen unwanted transmissions by pressing L/O to
