Delay

Sometimes a radio caller might pause before 
replying to a transmission. To avoid missing 
a reply on a specific channel, the scanner 
automatically programs a 2-second delay into 
any channel or frequency. You can monitor the 
channel frequency for an additional two seconds 
after the transmission stops before resuming 
scanning or searching.

Depending on the scanner operation, follow one 
of these steps to turn on or off a delay.
