You cannot turn off all banks. There must be at least one active bank.
•
You can manually select any channel in a bank, even if the bank is turned off.
monitoring a single channel/power save circuit
You can monitor a single channel with your scanner by navigating to that channel while in manual
mode. The scanner will receive traffic on the selected frequency.
Your scanner features a power save circuit that is automatically activated any time you manually
select a channel. The power save mode works by allowing the receiver to “sleep” briefly while
waiting for a call on the selected channel. The power save circuit is disabled when the scanner is
tuned to a channel in program mode.
using CTCSS and DCS
Your scanner’s advanced, CTCSS and DCS decoder allows you to listen only to the group that is of
interest to you by specifying the group’s specific CTCSS or DCS code for a certain frequency. CTCSS
and DCS can also help reduce instances where interfering signals cause your scanner to stop on one
channel.
When your scanner stops on a conventional frequency that is configured for CTCSS or DCS, it
checks for a match between the transmitted and stored codes match, the scanner stops on the
transmission and allows the audio to pass to the speaker. If the codes do not match, the scanner
resumes scan operation. If the special “search” code is in use, the scanner will instantly display any
detected CTCSS code if programmed for CTCSS mode, or DCS code if programmed for DCS code.
You can store the detected code into the channel memory by pressing ENT while the code is
displayed.
For more information about your scanner’s receive modes, including CTCSS and DCS, see
“Understanding Your Scanner’s Modes”. For more information on programming memory channels
for CTCSS or DCS operation, see “CTCSS and DCS”.
