However, you cannot program MOT (Motorola), or ED (EDACS) mode in VHF. Each receive mode affects how your scanner operates when scanning and receiving transmissions, and also affects what transmissions you receive when you set the scanner to the closed mode. See "Changing the Receive Mode" on Page 49. Ô AM MODE The AM mode sets the scanner to receive transmissions using amplitude modulation (AM), primarily used for aircraft, military, some amateur radio, and some government transmissions. (Refer to "Specifications" on Page 84 for a list of the frequencies covered.) When the scanner receives a transmission on a channel set to the AM mode, it always stops on the transmission. Ô NOTE Ô Your scanner's closed mode lets you hear only those talk groups you specify. For more information, see "Open and Closed Modes" on Page 25. FM MODE The FM mode sets the scanner to receive transmissions using frequency modulation (FM), used for most public safety transmissions, as well as broadcast, business, and amateur radio transmissions. When the scanner receives a transmission on a channel set to the FM mode, it always stops on the transmission. MOTOROLA MODE You can set your scanner so it decodes the talk group IDs used with Motorola trunking systems. This setting is called the Motorola mode. Understanding Your Scanner's Modes 21

affects how your scanner operates
when scanning and receiving

what transmissions you receive
when you set the scanner to the
closed mode. See “Changing the
