The scanner stops at a particular frequency with the opening of the squelch. It will then pause
at the frequency for 5 seconds after the squelch closes. During this period of time the active
channel's bar will flash indicating that the squelch is closed but waiting to resume scanning.
Adjust the squelch setting as needed to reject false signals and noise.
Notes on scanning:
The COM3010 employs a wideband receiver. If there are channels that are close together in
sequence, the squelch may open on an adjacent channel. This is due to the broad channel
discrimination of the COM3010. To remedy this, set the squelch a bit tighter to reject the
adjacent channels and open only on the stronger RSSI signal.
The scanner also includes the ability to skip channels, progress to the next channel, and re-
store skipped channels.
