Set Delay Time For: 0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 30 seconds: Select the time to stay on that frequency after the transmission ends. Press E Yes 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 E Yes to save and exit. Set Attenuator Push the FUNC knob + 7 ATT to add attenuation to Quick Search. 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 attenuation weakens the received signal but may improve communication clarity. Normally, use it with OFF. Push the FUNC knob + 7 ATT again to toggle the attenuator ON/OFF; push and hold the FUNC knob + 7 ATT to toggle global attenuation. Set Record This setting allows a live audio output from the Record Out Jack (REC) to an audio recording device. • On - the scanner outputs audio signals. • 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. 47

Set Delay Time
For: 0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 30 seconds:
Select the time to stay on that frequency after the transmission ends. Press
E
Yes
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
E Yes
to save and exit.
Set Attenuator
Push the
FUNC
knob +
7 ATT
to add attenuation to Quick Search.
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 attenuation weakens the received signal but may improve communication
clarity. Normally, use it with OFF.
Push the
FUNC
knob +
7 ATT again
to toggle the attenuator ON/OFF; push
and hold the
FUNC
knob +
7 ATT
to toggle global attenuation.
Set Record
This setting allows a live audio output from the Record Out Jack (REC) to an
audio recording device.
•
On — the scanner outputs audio signals.
•
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.
