DELAY
Many agencies use a two-way radio system that has a period of several seconds between a query
and a reply. To avoid missing a reply, you can program a 2-second delay into any channel or
frequency. When your scanner stops on a channel or frequency with a programmed delay, DLY
appears and the scanner continues to monitor that channel or frequency for 2 seconds after the
transmission stops before resuming scanning, searching, or tuning.
You can program a 2-second delay in any of these ways:
• If the scanner is scanning and stops on an active channel, quickly press
scanning.
• If the desired channel is not selected, manually select the channel, then press
• If the scanner is searching or tuning, press
adds a 2-second delay to every transmission it stops on in that band.
To turn off the 2-second delay in a channel or for all frequency, press
monitoring that channel or frequency. DLY disappears.
LOCKING OUT CHANNELS OR FREQUENCIES
You can increase the effective scanning or search speed by locking out individual channels or
frequencies that have a continuous transmission, such as a weather channel (see "National
Weather Frequencies" on Page 24) or a birdie frequency (see "Birdie Frequencies" on Page 24).
Locking Out Channels
To lock out a channel during scanning, press
To manually lock out a channel, select the channel then press
To remove the lockout from a channel, manually select that channel again, then press
until L/O disappears.
Notes:
• Your scanner automatically locks out empty channels.
• You can still manually select locked-out channels.
