Name Editing — you can edit or change names, using up to 16 characters, for the following attributes:

System, Site, Group, Channel, TGID, GPS Location, Custom Search Range, SAME Group (weather), and Tone-Out.

Trunking Activity Indicators — show you trunking activity when you hold on a control channel.

Searches and Scanning

Attenuator — lets you reduce by 20 dB the strength of a strong signal to help eliminate weak reception or interfering transmission.

Alert Mute — you can disable alerts based on a BearTracker priority channel, Emergency Alert, Close Call, Tone-Out, and GPS.

Alert Plus Scan — lets you listen to only alerts from BearTracker systems or groups, Close Call, Weather (WX), and GPS.

Channel Alert — lets you assign a tone to a channel so that when the channel becomes active, the tone sounds.

Channel Memory Scan — you can scan conventional and trunked system channels at the same time with programming.

CTCSS/DCS Search — quickly determines the CTCSS/DCS sub-audible tones used by an agency.

Convenient Lockout — lets you lockout any system, site, group, or channel so that item is skipped during scanning. If a system, site, or group is locked, the channels of that entity will be skipped.

Custom Search — lets you program up to 10 search ranges and scan each in order.

Dropout Delay — lets you set a time value so that you don’t miss a reply at the end of a transmission. The value can be set for systems (all channels share the same value), as well as Search, Close Call, and Tone-Out settings.

Priority Plus — this option lets you scan and hear only priority channels.

Priority Scan — lets you designate conventional channels as priority so during scanning, they are checked every 2 seconds.

Repeater Reverse — using one key, you can choose to listen to the input frequency of a conventional or trunked system.
