appears. Press any key to confirm the

If the Signal Stalker I Only Mode option is set to

in Only Mode. The
icon flashes.
Note:
In Signal Stalker I Only Mode, the
scanner only tries to find Signal Stalker I
transmissions. The scanner displays the band
meter for input signals in each band. If the
scanner loses a transmission, it resumes signal
stalker search.
Band Meter for Signal Stalker I
This meter allows you to see which band Signal
Stalker I is searching for. When a strong and
consistent signal is detected, this meter will rise
up to Max.
However, even if this meter rises to Max, the
scanner might not be able to catch the signal
if it is out of range or locked-out. To improve
performance if this happens, disable the band
by pressing the band number on the keypad.
Alternatively, disable the band within the Band
Switch in the Signal Stalker I options.
Scanning
To begin scanning channels, press
SCAN
. The
scanner scans through all unlocked channels
in the activated banks. (See “

Channels”
and

Banks On and Off”
). When the scanner finds a
transmission, it stops on it. When the transmission
ends, the scanner resumes scanning.

Manually Selecting a Channel

emergency broadcast on a channel and do not
want to miss any details, even though there might
be periods of silence, or if you want to monitor a
specific channel.

channel number, and then press
SCAN/MAN
. The
selected channel appears.
Or, during scanning, if the scanner stops at a
channel you want to listen to, press
SCAN/MAN
.
To resume automatic scanning, press
SCAN/MAN
again.
