Set Hold Time

This setting controls how many seconds the scanner looks at a site before moving to the next unlocked site or system. Using the number keypad, enter a value from

[0]to [2][5][5], then press F to save the setting.

Notes:

•If the scanner cannot detect a control channel on an EDACS or Motorola system, it immediately moves to the next site or system. The scanner always scans LTR or SCAT systems for at least 1 second to check for current activity.

•If you select 0 and the control channel is received, the scanner stays on the system for a minimal time (only long enough to check current system activity).

•The default setting is 2 seconds for each system.

•The scanner moves to the next system after the hold time expires, any current transmission ends, and the channel delay time expires.
