Setting Subaudible Tones for Searching You can set the scanner to only stop on transmissions that either have no subaudible tone or include a specified CTCSS or DCS tone during searches. This setting affects all search ranges. For this feature to work, you need to turn on the Tone Mode (see "Setting Squelch Mode"). 1:SERVICE OPTION → :CHAIN SEARCH → 5:TONE DATA 1:CTCSS Lets you set the CTCSS tone. 2:DCS Lets you set the DCS. 3:OFF Does not use subaudible tones. Note: If, instead of pressing E to select a tone you press L/O, the scanner will stop on any transmission except for those with the selected tone. Searching for Subaudible Tones If you set the system tone option to 3:TONE SEARCH (see "Setting Squelch Mode"), the scanner will determine the correct tone for the received signal. Attenuating All Search Ranges If you are near a strong RF source, you might need to attenuate the input signal in order to search properly. To turn on this option for all search ranges: 1:SERVICE OPTION → :CHAIN SEARCH → 4:ATTENUATOR 1:ON The attenuator is turned on. 2:OFF The attenuator is turned off. Setting DELAY for All Search Ranges You can set the scanner to have a delay after the end of a transmission before searching resumes. This slows searching, but helps you prevent missing replies on a frequency. 1:SERVICE OPTION → :CHAIN SEARCH → 3:DELAY 1:NONE The delay is turned off. 2:1 SECOND The delay time is 1 second. 3:2 SECONDS The delay time is 2 seconds. 4:4 SECONDS The delay time is 4 seconds. 28
