Tone Volume Adjust — lets you select and set various tones for different purposes. You can adjust the level of the following tones: Key Beep, BearTracker Alert, Emergency Alert, Channel Alert, Close Call Alert, Tone-Out Detection Alert, and Location Alert.

PC Control — lets you can connect the scanner to the serial port of your PC and control the scanner with special software.

Wired Clone — makes it easy to transfer data from one scanner to the other such as memory information and menu settings.

Memory Backup — feel confident of secure settings because the scanner’s memory is backed up during operation and retained when power is turned off.

Audio AGC — helps to balance the audio level from different sources.

Record Out — you can connect an output jack to a VOX controlled recorder or PC sound input to record the received audio.

Orange Wire Vehicle Connection — a special wire lets you connect to the dimmer circuit of your vehicle so the vehicle’s dimmer also dims the scanner’s lighting.

Startup Configuration — lets you easily change the scanner’s operation for different areas.

Trunk Tracking

Trunk Tracker III — you can scan the following trunked systems: Motorola Type I 800 MHz, Motorola Type II 800, 900 MHz, UHF, VHF, EDACS WIDE, NARROW, and SCAT, plus LTR

Control Channel Only — eliminates the need to program voice channel frequencies for Motorola systems.

Multi-Site Trunking Support — lets you program the scanner to share trunked system channels across multiple sites, and turn on and off each site independently so that you can select the best site to scan for your area without duplicating channels.

ID Auto Store — you can store a new TGID found during a search into a specified system.

Quick Search — lets you continue a search starting from a current frequency in a conventional system or from a current trunked channel TGID in a trunked system.
