Beyond the Basics
copying a frequency into the priority channel
You can copy a frequency into the priority channel (see “Priority”) when the scanner stops on the frequency during Search, Scan, Manual, Tune, or WX mode.
Press FUNC then PRI when the frequency appears. The display flashes twice and the frequency is copied to the priority channel.
Signal Stalker II
Your scanner’s Signal Stalker II feature provides a powerful new tool for you to rapidly detect, monitor and store frequencies for nearby radio transmissions. The Signal Stalker II feature is similar in functionality to portable frequency counters that cost much more than your scanner, but provides many advantages over typical portable frequency counters. For example:
The Signal Stalker II allows you to sweep the entire range of your scanner’s design frequencies, or you can specify those frequency ranges that you wish to sweep and exclude ranges that you do not want to sweep. This allows you to omit frequency ranges with constant strong frequency activity, such as those with paging or broadcast transmitters. Many portable frequency counters will remain locked to a nearby constant signal, such as a paging or broadcast transmitter, and will not function properly until you have left the vicinity of the transmitter.
The Signal Stalker II feature is more sensitive than portable frequency counters and will detect transmissions at a greater distance. You can activate the Attenuator to reduce the sensitivity if desired.
Once an active frequency is found, the transmission is played through your scanner’s speaker, and you can quickly store it in any of your scanner’s memory locations.
