3. The Tone-Out name, channel number (1-10), and tone settings display. Any transmission received on that frequency will not be heard but you will still see signal strength bars. All Tone-Outs (channels) that have the same frequency (and modulation/ attenuation) as the one you select will also (and only) be monitored so you can monitor up to 10 Tone-Out channels for one frequency. In this case, the scanner displays each Tone-Out channel for two seconds. It does not scan them; Tone-Out monitors the frequency for all Tone-Out channels with the same frequency. Regardless of the current display, the scanner will alert on any received Tone-Out that matches a stored setting (channel) for the frequency. If you press HOLD while in Standby/Search mode, the scanner temporarily exits Tone-Out mode and you will be able to hear any transmissions on that frequency. No alerts sound, even if a Tone-Out matches one you have programmed in Hold mode. Press HOLD again to return to Standby/Search mode. IN TONE-OUT STANDBY MODE • To select another Tone-Out, turn the Scroll knob. • To save found tones in Tone-Out Search mode, press E Yes at Set Found Tone A and B? • To turn Intermediate Frequency Exchange on or off, push the FUNC knob, then press 4 IFX. • To turn attenuation on or off, push the FUNC knob, then press 7 ATT. • To toggle modulation, push the FUNC knob, then press 9 MOD. BAND SCOPE MODE Band Scope mode searches a frequency range and displays the signal level in real time. The screen displays the frequency increasing in value from left to right, and a signal strength meter displays for signals. You can set the center frequency and frequency range span. In Hold mode, you can monitor the displayed frequency. The scanner rapidly sweeps between the endpoints of the selected frequency range and updates each bar segment with the relative signal strength in each pass. Use the band scope in normal mode (the bars are all updated with the 57

BAND SCOPE MODE
Band Scope mode searches a frequency range and displays the signal level
in real time. The screen displays the frequency increasing in value from left to
right, and a signal strength meter displays for signals. You can set the center
frequency and frequency range span. In Hold mode, you can monitor the
displayed frequency.
The scanner rapidly sweeps between the endpoints of the selected frequency
range and updates each bar segment with the relative signal strength in each
pass. Use the band scope in normal mode (the bars are all updated with the
