Broadcast Screen — Sets the scanner to ignore Close Call™ or search hits on known broadcast frequencies including common pager frequencies.

Custom Screen — Lets you input up to 10 frequency ranges that the scanner will ignore during Close Call™ or search operation.

Repeater Reverse — Automatically switches to the input frequency on a conventional repeater system.

Channel Alert — Alerts you when there is activity on any channel you specify using your choice of nine unique alert tones.
