Feature Highlights:
Close CallTM
RF Capture Technology - you can set the scanner so it detects and
provides information about nearby radio transmissions.
Dynamically Allocated Channel Memory - your scanner’s memory is organized so
that it more closely matches how radio systems actually work, making it easier
to program and use your scanner and determine how much memory you have used and
how much you have left.
Preprogrammed Systems - your scanner is preprogrammed with over 400 channels
covering police, fire, and ambulance operations in the 25 most populated
counties in the US. A complete list of the scanner’s preprogrammed systems is in
"Conventional System Worksheet"
Quick Keys – You can set the scanner so you can select systems and groups by
pressing a single key. This makes it easy to listen to or quickly lock out those
systems or groups you don’t want to scan.
Pager Screen – You can set the scanner so it ignores hits generated by
common pager frequencies while using the Close Call or search features.
Ten Service Searches - frequencies are preset in separate public safety,
news, amateur radio, marine, railroad, air, CB radio, FRS/GMRS, racing, and
special searches, to make it easy to find specific transmissions.
Lockout – You can lock out any system, group, frequency, or channel while
scanning. If you lock out a system or group, any channels belonging to that
system or group are also locked out. You can lock out up to 200 frequencies. The
scanner skips locked-out frequencies while using the Close Call feature or while
searching.
CTCSS and DCS Squelch Modes –
prevent interference from stations not using the mode you select.
Dropout Delay – You can set whether the scanner pauses at the end of a
transmission to wait for a reply. You can set the delay time for each system you
scan, and while searching and using the Close Call feature.
Attenuator – You can set the scanner’s attenuator to reduce the input
strength of strong signals by about 18 dB received by the scanner.
Repeater Reverse – You can set the scanner so it switches to the input
frequency on a conventional repeater system or trunked system.
