Problem

Suggestion

 

 

 

Scanner won’t work.

1.

Improper reception.

optional multi-band antenna. Check with your dealer or

 

 

local electronics store.

 

 

 

Scan won’t stop.

1.

Adjust squelch threshold - refer to page 14, “Setting the

 

 

Squelch”.

 

2.

Check the antenna connection.

 

3.

Check to see if many of the channels are Locked Out.

channel.

Review each channel’s frequency to see if it is still

 

 

stored in Memory and is correct.

 

5.

It’s possible that none of the programmed frequencies

 

 

are currently active.

 

 

 

Scan won’t start.
