The scanner scans through all non-locked channels in the activated banks. When the transmission ends, the scanner resumes scanning. DLY disappears. When you turn off a bank, the scanner does not scan any of the channels in that bank. While scanning, press the number key that corresponds to the bank you want to turn on or off. Page Priority You can program one stored channel in each bank as a priority channel.

Make sure your scanner is turned off. The display lights for Page Search Speeds The scanner has two search speeds. Press MENU. Press MENU to exit the menu mode. The scanner displays this data as codes corresponding to the levels of severity L1, L2, and L3.

Page Turning On The Digital Weather Alert Feature The scanner remains on the weather channel and the audio turns on so you can hear the weather broadcast.

So the scanner has 1, channels. You can scan the channelstorage banks to see if there is activity on the frequencies stored there. Notes frequencies and scan channels after you programmed your found frequencies. To make it easier to identify and select the channels you want to listen to, all the channels are divided into 10 banks of channels.

PGM appears. Use the number keys to enter the channel number you want to assign to a frequency. For example, if you enter The scanner stores this setting in the channel. To program the next channel in sequence, press S or T and repeat Steps 4 and 5. Manually select the channel which contains the frequency you want to copy or move. Select the bank where you want to copy or move the frequency. Press S or T to move to the channel where you wish to store the frequency.

This feature lets you search through preset frequency ranges. You can also preset a range. There are three modes within this feature: chain search mode, chain search hold mode, and program band select mode. Press SRCH. SRCH appears. Press 0 — 9 to enable or disable the search bank number being searched. Note: At least one bank needs to be Notes entered. If you disable all the banks,. Press T to search down or S to search up. HOLD appears. Press the bank number you want to store the frequency.

The lowest and the highest frequencies of Bank 1 appear alternately. Press the bank number you want to change the range.

The lower frequency range appears. Press S or T to change the frequency to an upper limit frequency. You can search up or down from the currently displayed frequency using direct search. SRCH appears during searching. Press and hold SRCH when the frequency you want to start from appears.

Or, enter the frequency you want to start from using the number keys in search hold mode, then press S or T. Notes frequency, the scanner displays Error. The scanner is. To use this feature, press SVC. The current service symbol appears and the scanner starts searching.

The newly selected service symbol appears. Press S or T to search. When you finish reviewing locked-out channels, press MAN. You can manually select any channel in a bank, even in turned- off banks. Priority Scanning In addition to the 1, programmable memory channels, your scanner has one Priority channel.

When Priority is turned on, the scanner checks the Priority channel every 2 seconds. This lets you scan without missing a transmission on the Priority channel.

Page Weather Alerts To modify the Priority channel: 1. Press PRI. Use the number keys to enter the frequency. Regulatory agencies in other countries have also allocated channels for use by their weather reporting authorities.

You can set your scanner to alert for all areas or limit weather alerts to up to 10 specific areas by FIPS code. To program a FIPS code: 1. Press WX and listen to identify the weather station with the strongest signal.

Press WX then a number key. To enter SAME standby: 1. The scanner searches the weather frequencies while in SAME standby mode when squelch is off. Page Skywarn Skywarn Skywarn is an organized group of trained weather observers. Using Skywarn, you can hear trained observers in your area call in official reports to a control station that relays those reports to NOAA and other emergency agencies.

Before using this feature, save local Skywarn frequencies for your area into Channel To use Skywarn: Hold the Skywarn button. Monitoring When monitoring, the scanner remains on a single channel. When the scanner finds an active frequency, it stops. Press PSE to monitor the frequency. The transmission signal level is indicated by the 5 dots. To set a default tuning frequency: 1. Optional Use the number keys to enter the frequency number. The scanner saves the frequency.

For example, if you save Trunking Setup Instead of transmitting on a specific frequency, trunking systems choose one of several frequencies during a 2-way radio transmission and simultaneously transmit a Talk Group ID that identifies the 2-way radio user.

This allows trunking systems to allocate fewer frequencies Page Trunking Modes 3. This lets you focus a scan on the frequencies you have identified, ignoring other transmissions. In Open mode, the scanner stops for transmissions on any unlocked channel.

This lets you search for Talk Group IDs that you can then save. To set Open or Closed mode for a bank: 1. To program a fleet map: 1. Press FUNC, then press 8. Enter the size code for Block 0, supplied with the Type I system information, or try one of the following common fleet maps. The next block appears. Repeat steps for each block. If you make a mistake, press CL and enter the correct size code. In the MHz trunking band, you can select a base frequency normal or offset , but in the MHz trunking band, you do not need to set the base frequency.

You can get information about base and offset frequencies from www. The bank number increases or decreases by one. Press FUNC then 2. Page Edacs Trunking Setup 7. Press FUNC then 3. Scanning requires clear reception of the control channel at all times, so EDACS systems generally have a smaller usable area.

You can manually select the data channel, but an external antenna can greatly improve EDACS scanning. LTR systems are used primarily by businesses, such as taxicabs, delivery trucks, and repair services. To save a correct Home Repeater: 1. Save the LTR channels in any order. Set the bank to Open mode. The assigned Home Repeater channel must equal the Home Repeater number. For example, R12 must be programmed into Channel The scanner scans through all unlocked channels in the active banks.

The scanner displays the ID location: Sub-bank. Page Deleting Talk Group Ids. The default setting is decimal ID entry. You can then enter the AFS code. Go back to Step 3. ID of X-XX appears. To cancel, press CL. To delete a Talk Group ID: 1. Page Saving Trunking Channels 5. To cancel the deletion, press any key except 1. Saving Trunking Channels Trunking channels are defined using the same procedure for non- trunking channels.

Because Motorola control frequencies change daily, you should save all the control frequencies in the same bank. If you do not know the control frequency, save all the Motorola frequencies in the same bank.

To scan correctly, you must program the frequencies in LCN order, starting with Memory Your scanner automatically mutes the audio while it decodes control channel data. However, we recommend you turn SQ clockwise and leave it set to a point just after the hiss stops.

This lets the scanner quickly acquire the data channel. For Motorola trunking systems, more than one talk group can transmit at a time. To lock out Talk Group IDs: 1. LO changes to lo. You cannot clear all lockouts from a talk group at the same time. To review locked-out Talk Group IDs: 1. When the scanner stops on a transmission, press FUNC. The display indicates which sub-bank is turned on or off. The active sub-bank number appears. Press FUNC and the number of the sub-bank you desire to turn on or off.

For example to turn sub-bank 4 on or off, press FUNC. Then press 4. This function activates when the receiving channel bank is Closed mode. Talk Group ID Hold You can set your scanner to follow a trunking signal that you want to track during scanning. Page Text Tags Text Tags While scanning, if the scanner stops on a channel with a saved text tag, the text appears on the display.

Otherwise, the Talk Group ID appears on the display. To define a Text Tag: 1. Page 44 To enter a number, press 1, then press the number key.

To enter lowercase character or second-set character for the 0 key, press the number key and then press FUNC. Press ENT to save the text. To display the Talk Group ID: 1. If the scanner displays the text tag for a transmission, press TEXT. The ID code appears. Press TEXT again to cancel. If using a DC adaptor, the DC adaptor socket might be dirty. The scanner does not receive Check the antenna.

Cause: Check the squelch. Antenna might not be connected correctly. Squelch setting might be too Check the Attenuator. If these solutions do not work, turn the Antenuator might be on so scanner off then on again, or initialize the your scanner might not receive scanner. Be sure the correct COM port is cable driver. These birdie frequencies can interfere with transmissions on the same frequencies. If the interference is not severe, you might be able to turn SQ clockwise to omit the birdie.

To find the birdies: 1. Disconnect the antenna and moving it away from the scanner. Initialize the scanner only after trying all other methods to correct issues.
