Scanning

To begin scanning channels or to start scanning again after monitoring a specific channel, press SCAN.Ô

The scanner scans through all channels (except those you have locked out) in the active channel storage banks (see “Turning Channel Storage Banks Off and On” on Page 49 and “Locking Out Channels or Frequencies” on Page 67).

Turning Channel Storage Banks Off and On

To turn off channel storage banks while scanning, press the bank's number key so the bank's number disappears. For example, to turn off bank 1, press 1. The scanner does not scan any of the channels within the banks you turned off.

To turn on channel storage banks while scanning, press the number key until the bank’s number appears. For example to turn bank 1 on again, press 1.

Ô NOTES Ô

•The scanner will not enter scan mode if there are no frequencies stored in channels, or if all channels are locked out in the channel storage bank(s) that you are attempting to

scan. In either of these cases, the scanner will display

All channels Locked out! See

“Programming Your Scanner” on Page 30.

•If SQUELCH is adjusted so you always hear a rushing sound, the scanner will not scan properly. Rotate the squelch control until the rushing sound stops.

•If SQUELCH is adjusted precisely at the threshold where the rushing sound stops, the radio will be most sensitive to very weak signals. The radio may also receive unwanted noise or signals that are too weak to understand. Most users prefer to position the squelch control a little bit past the point of threshold to avoid receiving noise or signals that are too weak to understand.

•You must store frequencies into channels before the scanner can scan them. The scanner does not scan through empty channels.

•To change the

scanning direction, press S or T while scanning.
