Squelch (SQ) Mode The scanner can be set to the following SQ modes. • Carrier SQ mode (default setting) The scanner will stop on any transmission or squelch opening, regardless of whether any sub-audible tone has been programmed for the channel or search range. • Tone SQ mode The scanner will stop on any active frequency for which either no sub-audible tone has been programmed or for which the user-programmed sub-audible tone is also active. • Tone Search mode During any transmission, the scanner will begin searching all possible sub-audible tones, one of which may also be in use. The scanner counts up through the CTCSS tones and instantly determines any possible DCS tone. See Page 83 for a listing of the tones that the BC780XLT decodes. Note: When Tone Search is active in Scan Mode, once the CTCSS/DCS display flashes a tone repeatedly (meaning that it has found the tone match), you can press E to program that frequency with the captured tone. When you change the mode to Tone Squelch from Tone Search, that frequency and tone will be programmed. • Tone Lock (out) mode For either a memory channel or a search range, you can lock a particular sub-audible tone by pressing L/O after scrolling to the desired tone. The scanner will stop on any transmission except those which may be using the locked sub-audible. To set your scanner, enter into the menu mode. 1. Press MENU. 2.
