Skip Frequencies

To skip a frequency, press L/O.

You can program up to 50 skip frequencies for priority channels. And also you can program up to 100 skip frequencies for other frequencies (See page 27).

Priority Channels

Each state preprogrammed in the scanner contains a number of Priority channels. The scanner automatically checks a state’s Priority channels every two seconds for activity. If there is activity on one of the Priority channels, the ALERT Light will flash and the alarm tone will beep (see “Highway Warning Alert,” page 17).
