System Quick Keys

System Quick Keys are used to enable or disable conventional and trunking systems for scanning. You can assign any quick key to one or more Systems, or program one or more systems with no quick key assigned that will always be scanned unless you Avoid it. There are also 100 Quick Keys (0-99) to use for your Systems.

It is best to assign Quick Keys to everything to easily access your Favorites List and System. See also Scanning and Quick Key scanning order.

Search Keys

You can assign any Search Keys (1, 2, or 3) to any Custom Search range, Tone-Out Search, or Close Call Only Search for quick access to your favorite searches.

PLANNING PROFILES

Startup Keys

You can program each of your Favorites Lists with a Startup Key (0-9) so that when you power up the scanner and press the key number, just those Favorites List(s) assigned to the key will be enabled for scan. Systems are not affected.

Number Tags

Numbers tags will allow you to tag each Favorites List, System, and Channel to locate easier. Number tags can range from 0 to 99 for Favorites Lists and Systems and 0-999 for Channels. You can assign number tags to channels even if the Favorites List does not have a number tag but, without a Favorites List number tag, you can only navigate to these channels while holding or scanning in that Favorites List. See also Using Number Tags.

Alerts

You can program your scanner to alert you when, a Channel or Unit ID is received, you receive a Close Call hit, an ID is transmitted with an Emergency Alert or you receive a Tone-out hit. For each alert in the scanner, you can select from 9 different tone patterns, 15 volume settings, 7 colors, and 3 color patterns.

Managing Favorites Lists

Favorites Lists hold all your Systems, Sites, Departments, and Channels. You should assign a Quick Key to every Favorites List to quickly enable or disable the list. You can assign a Favorites List to a Favorites List Quick Key.
