Monitoring and Scanning

When programmed, your scanner provides two basic
functions for scanning radio transmissions:
• Monitoring – Listening to a single object.
• Scanning – Checking multiple saved objects,
stopping when a transmission is detected.
To scan more quickly, you can skip or lock out
frequencies that you do not wish to scan. A skipped
frequency is ignored during the current scan; a locked
out frequency is ignored for all scans unless it is
unlocked.
