Close Call Hits

When the scanner detects a Close Call hit, it alerts you according to the Override and Alert settings in the previous section. While listening to a Close Call hit, you can do any of the following: press [HOLD/RESUME] to hold on the hit frequency, press F to quickly save the frequency into memory, press [L/O] to lock out the frequency from Close Call and Search operation, or wait for the transmission to end.

If you are in Close Call Only or Close Call Override mode, and you do not press any key, the scanner returns to its previous operation after the transmission ends and the set delay time expires.

If you are holding on the frequency, press [HOLD/RESUME] again to resume the previous operation.

Close Call Hits are just the last 10 hits received in Close Call mode. The hits go away when you cycle power (if you want to store it “permanently” press F when the scanner is on the frequency; the scanner then stores the frequency into the “Close Call” system which shows up in the systems list).
