27.Close Call mode

When the scanner is in Close Call mode, it performs a close call check every 2 seconds. The scanner switches to the selected bands and searches for unusually strong signals (indicating the transmitter is probably somewhere close by). After the close call check, the scanner returns to its previous function.

In Close Call Do Not Disturb mode, the scanner does not perform a Close Call check if it is already receiving an audio transmission. This prevents the audio from cutting out every 2 seconds.

In Close Call Only mode, the scanner only performs Close Call checks.

The Close Call menu lets you change the operation settings of the Close Call feature. You can change the overall Close Call options through the Srch/CloCall Opt menu.
