Press and hold FUNC + 7/att to toggle global attenuators. NOTE: During a search, press FUNC + 7/att to override this setting. Set Digital Waiting This setting gives the scanner time to determine if a transmission is digital or analog. During this time, the scanner evaluates the signal and, if it detects a digital signal, it immediately opens squelch. If a digital signal is not detected before the delay expires, the scanner opens squelch at the end of this delay. This prevents "false decode" problems (digital noise at the beginning of transmissions). The default setting is 400 ms. This setting only affects channels with an Audio Type set to ALL. NOTE: Any analog transmissions on channels with Audio Type set to ALL will lose the first part of the transmission, up to the wait time set here. Quick Search Set a starting frequency to begin a search. There are two methods to start a Quick Search: Method 1: 1. Press HOLD while the radio is scanning or searching to stop it on a specific frequency. 2. Press FUNC + SCAN/srch to begin scanning from that frequency. Turn the scroll control knob to change search directions. Method 2: 1. Select MENU/Search for.../Quick Search. The Start Frequency screen displays. 2. Enter the beginning search frequency and press the scroll control knob Yes/E to set it. The radio begins scanning. When you enter a frequency to start a quick search, the scanner automatically rounds the entered number up to the nearest valid frequency. For example, if you enter 151.473 MHz, the scanner starts searching at 151.475 MHz. However, if you enter an invalid frequency, Out of Band displays and the scanner beeps three times. Press any key to go back to the previous screen and enter a valid frequency. See page 24. 37

decode” problems (digital noise at the beginning of transmissions). The default
setting is 400 ms. This setting only affects channels with an Audio Type set to ALL.
