ADVANCED OPERATION
DELAY
Many agencies use a two-way radio system that might have a pause of several seconds between a query and a reply. Your scanner’s delay feature lets it wait for 2 seconds after each trans- mission on a channel or frequency while scanning or searching.
To program a 2-second delay, press DELAY while the channel or frequency is selected. DLY appears. When your scanner stops on the channel or frequency while scanning or searching, it waits for 2 seconds after each transmission on that channel or frequency before it resumes scanning or searching.
SKIPPING CHANNELS
You can increase the scanner’s effective scanning speed by skip- ping those channels that have a continuous transmission, such as a weather channel.
To skip a channel while scanning, press SKIP while the channel is selected. SKIP appears on the display.
