1. Scroll to the bank you want to change or add. Press Yes/E or push the scroll control knob to display the bank's service list. 2. Select the service to assign to that bank from the service list and press Yes/E or the scroll control knob. You can also select (BLANK) when not assigning service to the bank. Bank numbers with blank assignment are not displayed. Edit Service You can configure the following settings for each service: • Set Delay Time • Set Attenuator • Digital Waiting NOTE: Unlike Scan mode, these settings are per service, not per frequency. Set Delay Time For: 0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 30 seconds: Sets the time to stay on that frequency after the transmission ends. NOTE: You can wait for a delayed reply to that transmission. If set to 0, scanning starts as soon as transmission ends; if there is a reply after 1 second, you may miss it. Increasing this time will slow down the overall scan. For: -2. -5, and -10 seconds: If negative values are set for a frequency, the scanner stays on that frequency for the set amount of time after receiving a signal. For example, if you set this value to -2 seconds, you will only hear the first 2 seconds of a 10-second transmission. Scroll to the desired delay time and press Yes/E to save and exit. Set Attenuator Add an attenuator per frequency. If a strong signal source exists near the desired frequency, it may interfere with reception of the desired frequency. Turning on ATT weakens the received signal; but it may also improve communication clarity. Normally, use it with OFF. NOTE: Use FUNC + 7/att to set attenuator for individual frequencies. Press and hold FUNC + 7/att to set global attenuator. Set Digital Waiting This setting gives the scanner time to determine if a transmission is digital or analog. During this time, the scanner evaluates the signal and, if it detects a digital signal, it immediately opens squelch. If a digital signal is not detected before the delay expires, the scanner opens squelch at the end of this delay. This prevents "false decode" problems (digital noise at the beginning of transmissions). The default setting is 400 ms. This setting only affects channels with an Audio Type set to ALL. 33

1.
Scroll to the bank you want to change or add. Press
Yes/E
or push the scroll
control knob to display the bank’s service list.
2.
Select the service to assign to that bank from the service list and press
Yes/E
or the scroll control knob. You can also select
(BLANK)
when not assigning
service to the bank. Bank numbers with blank assignment are not displayed.
Edit Service
You can con
fi
gure the following settings for each service:
•
Set Delay Time
•
Set Attenuator
•
Digital Waiting
NOTE: Unlike Scan mode, these settings are per service, not per frequency.
Set Delay Time
For: 0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 30 seconds:
Sets the time to stay on that frequency after the transmission ends.
NOTE: You can wait for a delayed reply to that transmission. If set to 0, scanning
starts as soon as transmission ends; if there is a reply after 1 second, you may miss
it. Increasing this time will slow down the overall scan.
For: -2. -5, and -10 seconds:
If negative values are set for a frequency, the scanner stays on that frequency for the
set amount of time after receiving a signal. For example, if you set this value to -2
seconds, you will only hear the
fi
rst 2 seconds of a 10-second transmission.
Scroll to the desired delay time and press
Yes/E
to save and exit.
Set Attenuator
Add an attenuator per frequency.
If a strong signal source exists near the desired frequency, it may interfere with
reception of the desired frequency. Turning on ATT weakens the received signal; but
it may also improve communication clarity. Normally, use it with OFF.
NOTE: Use
FUNC
+
7/att
to set attenuator for individual frequencies. Press and hold
FUNC
+
7/att
to set global attenuator.
Set Digital Waiting
This setting gives the scanner time to determine if a transmission is digital or analog.
During this time, the scanner evaluates the signal and, if it detects a digital signal,
it immediately opens squelch. If a digital signal is not detected before the delay
expires, the scanner opens squelch at the end of this delay. This prevents “false
decode” problems (digital noise at the beginning of transmissions). The default
setting is 400 ms. This setting only affects channels with an Audio Type set to ALL.
