CLOSE CALL MENU Your scanner's Close Call feature lets you set the scanner so it detects, alerts you to, and displays the frequency of a nearby strong radio transmission. You can set the scanner so the Close Call feature checks for a Close Call hit every 2 seconds in the background while you are scanning or searching or use Close Call only mode. It automatically displays the frequency. 'Close Call Do-Not-Disturb' only checks for Close Call signals when you are not receiving transmissions. You can also set the frequency band(s) where you want the scanner to look for transmissions. When the scanner detects a Close Call hit, it alerts you according to the override and alert settings. You can also set the scanner to Auto Store Close Call hits. 'Hits with Scan' is a special system that automatically stores the last 10 Close Call hits until you cycle power. The system 'Close Call' is created when you run a Close Call Auto Store. The Close Call feature works well for locating the source of strong local transmissions such as mobile and handheld two-way radios in areas with no other strong transmission sources. Several factors affect Close Call performance. Performance is increased with higher transmit power, receive antenna tuned to the target band, and a low background RF level. Other than the antenna, you have no control over these factors, but they explain why performance might vary by both location and time. The Close Call feature works better with some types of transmissions than others. It might not correctly display frequency information for transmitters using a highly directional antenna (such as an amateur radio beam antenna) or if many transmitters operate at the same time in the same area. To Edit Close Call Options, press Menu. 1. Scroll to 'Close Call' and press E/yes. 2. Scroll to the options below and press E/yes. 3. Press Scan/Srch to return to scanning when done with editing. Important! There are many options and settings in Search/Close Call Options that affect and compliment the settings for Close Call. Please review those first. Note: The items below do not follow the radio's menu order because they should be in the following order to properly setup and use the Close Call features. As there is no 'Step' setting in 'Search and Close Call Options', you will have to set the step in 'Band Defaults'.
