Note: When in Hold mode, you can use the VFO to step up or down through the channels. You can also switch from stepping up/down through channels to stepping up/down through frequencies by pressing the VFO. Storing Frequencies During Scanning During Scanning 1. Press /HOLD. 2. Press TRNFR, and the empty channel number appears on the display. 3. Press E. Note: • If you want to change the channel, rotate the VFO. • If the frequency you want to store exists already, and WARNING appears on the display and you will hear a beep. (See "Duplicate Frequency Alert" on page 27). RF Attenuation Feature The BC785D comes with an RF Attenuation feature. If you're near an unusually strong signal source, the signal may overload the scanner. The scanner may stop repeatedly on that signal and miss other transmissions. The RF Attenuation feature works in all modes and attenuates (reduces) the incoming signal strength to prevent stronger signals from overloading the scanner. The RF attenuation is set at the Menu mode. 1. Press MENU. 2. For Search mode, select 1:SERVICE OPTION / :CHAIN SEARCH / 1:CHAIN SEARCH / 1:ON / 4:ATTENUATOR / 1:ON by rotating the VFO and pressing E. OR For Scan mode, select 2:SCAN OPTION / 1:CONVENTIONAL by rotating the VFO and pressing E. Then select the channel number by rotating the VFO and pressing E. Select 4:ATTENUATOR (Search mode) or 5:ATTENUATOR (Scan mode) by rotating the VFO and pressing E. 3. Select 1:ON by rotating the VFO and pressing E. Note: Attenuation will only be active for the specified channel. In Search mode, it is applied to the Search ranges in all banks. Remember! You can also use or instead of rotating the VFO. Also instead of pressing E, you can press the VFO control. Setting the Delay Mode for Frequency A default delay of 2 seconds is automatically set for each frequency or talkgroup. A different delay can be set for each programmed channel so that when scan or search stops on a channel there is a brief pause before the scanning cycle resumes. To set the delay feature, enter into the menu mode. 31
