Set Attenuator Add an attenuator per frequency. If a strong signal source exists near the desired frequency, it may interfere with reception of the desired frequency. Turning on ATT weakens the received signal; but it may also improve communication clarity. Normally, use it with OFF. NOTE: Press the FUNC knob + 7 ATT to set attenuator for individual frequencies. Press and hold the FUNC knob + 7 ATT to set global attenuator. Set Record This setting allows a live audio output from the Record Out Jack (REC) to an audio recording device. On - the scanner outputs the audio signal. Off - the scanner does not output any audio signals. 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. Custom Search Setting up a custom search allows you to edit the 10 custom search ranges. Default custom search range names display as Custom 1, Custom 2, etc. Custom 1 refers to SRCH Bank 1 (SRC:1), Custom 2 to SRCH Bank 2 (SRC: 2), etc. These Search bank numbers match the number displayed at the bottom of the screen when starting Custom Searches. The default search frequency ranges are: • Custom 1 (SRC:1) 25.0000MHz to 27.9999MHz • Custom 2 (SRC:2) 28.0000MHz to 29.6999MHz • Custom 3 (SRC:3) 29.7000MHz to 49.9999MHz • Custom 4 (SRC:4) 50.0000MHz to 53.9999MHz • Custom 5 (SRC:5) 137.0000MHz to 143.9999MHz • Custom 6 (SRC:6) 144.0000MHz to 147.9999MHz • Custom 7 (SRC:7) 406.0000MHz to 419.9999MHz • Custom 8 (SRC:8) 420.0000MHz to 449.9999MHz 42

Set Attenuator
Add an attenuator per frequency.
If a strong signal source exists near the desired frequency, it may interfere
with reception of the desired frequency. Turning on ATT weakens the received
signal; but it may also improve communication clarity. Normally, use it with
OFF.
NOTE: Press the
FUNC
knob +
7 ATT
to set attenuator for individual
frequencies. Press and hold
the FUNC
knob +
7 ATT
to set global attenuator.
Set Record
This setting allows a live audio output from the Record Out Jack (REC) to an
audio recording device.
On — the scanner outputs the audio signal.
Off — the scanner does not output any audio signals.
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.
Custom Search
Setting up a custom search allows you to edit the 10 custom search ranges.
Default custom search range names display as Custom 1, Custom 2, etc.
Custom 1 refers to SRCH Bank 1 (SRC:1), Custom 2 to SRCH Bank 2 (SRC:
2), etc. These Search bank numbers match the number displayed at the
bottom of the screen when starting Custom Searches.
The default search frequency ranges are:
•
Custom 1 (SRC:1) 25.0000MHz to 27.9999MHz
•
Custom 2 (SRC:2) 28.0000MHz to 29.6999MHz
•
Custom 3 (SRC:3) 29.7000MHz to 49.9999MHz
•
Custom 4 (SRC:4) 50.0000MHz to 53.9999MHz
•
Custom 5 (SRC:5) 137.0000MHz to 143.9999MHz
•
Custom 6 (SRC:6) 144.0000MHz to 147.9999MHz
•
Custom 7 (SRC:7) 406.0000MHz to 419.9999MHz
•
Custom 8 (SRC:8) 420.0000MHz to 449.9999MHz
