NOTE: Use the scroll control knob to move the cursor to edit the frequency one number at a time or press ./No twice to delete the entire frequency and enter a valid one. You can also turn the Scroll Control knob to change the search direction. Set Quick Search Select Set Quick Search from MENU/Search For... to establish search parameters (delay time, attenuation, and digital waiting). These settings are per service, not per frequency. Set Delay Time For: 0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 30 seconds: Select the time to stay on that frequency after the transmission ends. Press Yes/E to save and exit. NOTE: You can wait for a delayed reply to that transmission. If set to 0, the search starts as soon as transmission ends; if there is a reply after 1 second, you may miss it. Increasing this time will slow down the overall search. For: -2. -5, -10, -30 seconds: If negative values are set for a frequency, the scanner stays on that frequency for the set amount of time after receiving a signal. For example, if you set this value to -2 seconds, you will only hear the first 2 seconds of a 10-second transmission. Scroll to the desired delay time and press Yes/E to save and exit. Set Attenuator Press FUNC + 7/att to add an attenuator per frequency. If a strong signal source exists near the desired frequency or at the image frequency, it may interfere with reception of the desired frequency. Turning on ATT weakens the received signal but may improve communication clarity. Normally, use it with OFF. Press FUNC + 7/att to toggle the attenuator ON/OFF; press and hold FUNC + 7/att to toggle global attenuation. 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. 38

twice to delete the entire frequency and enter a valid

Set Quick Search
Select
Set Quick Search
from
MENU
/
Search For...
to establish search parameters
(delay time, attenuation, and digital waiting). These settings are per service, not per
frequency.
Set Delay Time
For: 0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 30 seconds:
Select the time to stay on that frequency after the transmission ends. Press
Yes/E
to
save and exit.
NOTE: You can wait for a delayed reply to that transmission. If set to 0, the search
starts as soon as transmission ends; if there is a reply after 1 second, you may miss
it. Increasing this time will slow down the overall search.
For: -2. -5, -10, -30 seconds:
If negative values are set for a frequency, the scanner stays on that frequency for the
set amount of time after receiving a signal. For example, if you set this value to -2
seconds, you will only hear the
fi
rst 2 seconds of a 10-second transmission.
Scroll to the desired delay time and press
Yes/E
to save and exit.
Set Attenuator
Press
FUNC
+
7/att
to add an attenuator per frequency.
If a strong signal source exists near the desired frequency or at the image frequency,
it may interfere with reception of the desired frequency. Turning on ATT weakens the
received signal but may improve communication clarity. Normally, use it with OFF.
Press
FUNC
+
7/att
to toggle the attenuator ON/OFF; press and hold
FUNC
+
7/att
to toggle global attenuation.
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
fi
rst part of the transmission, up to the wait time set here.
