Most frequency lists usually indicate which of the frequencies are the control channel frequencies. Otherwise, you must enter all of the frequencies.

Set Modulation

Auto — the scanner uses the default modulation for the frequency band.

FM — the scanner uses FM (frequency modulation) for the frequency band.

NFM — the scanner uses narrowband FM for the frequency band.

Note: The default setting is Auto.

This setting controls the modulation method used for the frequency band. In most cases, if you leave this set to Auto, the scanner automatically selects the correct modulation type for the system you are programming.

Setting Site Attenuation MESL

Enable Attenuation if you are near strong signal sources. Attenuation can help reduce interference and desensitization that strong signals create. You can also turn this setting on or off by holding on a trunked system, then pressing + [7].
