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.
