7:DATA SKIP A scanner will normally stop on any transmission it receives. This means the BC250D will occasionally stop on data signals and unmodulated transmissions. You can automatically skip many of these types of transmissions with data skip turned ON. 8:SQ MODE The SQ Mode allows you to set at your option, whether the scanner will stop on all active transmissions on a particular frequency or it will only respond to transmissions with a pre-set subaudible tone. This applies to both Conventional Search and Scan modes. The options are as follows: 1. CSQ - The default setting is CSQ (carrier squelch). In this mode the scanner will stop on any transmission on a programmed frequency (Squelch mode does not apply to trunking). 2. TONE SQ - In Tone Squelch mode, if you have set a subaudible tone (CTCSS or DCS) for a frequency, the scanner will only stop on that frequency if the transmission includes the prescribed tone. 3. TONE SEARCH - In this mode, as soon as the scanner stops on any (non-trunked) channel, the scanner will begin to search for any subaudible tone that is being used on a transmitted frequency. The scanner will check each CTCSS tone sequentially and it will find DCS tones instantly. 9:BANK TAG Allows you to set an alphanumeric text tag for individual banks in the scanner (1-10). (The "0" key represents bank number 10.) For example, you may wish to set the bank one text tag as Law Enforcement, the second bank as Fire, etc. 0:P-25 CARD When you insert the optional card (BCi25D) and select 1:ENABLE in this mode, you can monitor APCO P-25 digital communications. See page 76 for details. :BATTERY SAVE When you set Battery Save to ON in this Menu, Battery Save is active in Scan Hold mode (except Priority Scan mode). 25

7:DATA SKIP
A scanner will normally stop on any transmission it
receives. This means the BC250D will occasionally
stop on data signals and unmodulated transmissions.
You can automatically skip many of these types of
transmissions with data skip turned ON.
8:SQ MODE
The SQ Mode allows you to set at your option,
whether the scanner will stop on all active
transmissions on a particular frequency or it will only
respond to transmissions with a pre-set subaudible
tone. This applies to both Conventional Search and
Scan modes. The options are as follows:
1.
CSQ - The default setting is CSQ (carrier
squelch). In this mode the scanner will stop on
any transmission on a programmed frequency
(Squelch mode does not apply to trunking).
2.
TONE SQ - In Tone Squelch mode, if you have
set a subaudible tone (CTCSS or DCS) for a
frequency, the scanner will only stop on that
frequency if the transmission includes the
prescribed tone.
3.
TONE SEARCH - In this mode, as soon as the
scanner stops on any (non-trunked) channel, the
scanner will begin to search for any subaudible
tone that is being used on a transmitted
frequency. The scanner will check each CTCSS
tone sequentially and it will find DCS tones
instantly.
9:BANK TAG
Allows you to set an alphanumeric text tag for
individual banks in the scanner (1-10). (The "0" key
represents bank number 10.) For example, you may
wish to set the bank one text tag as Law
Enforcement, the second bank as Fire, etc.
0:P-25 CARD
When you insert the optional card (BCi25D) and
select
1:ENABLE
in this mode, you can monitor
APCO P-25 digital communications. See page 76 for
