create.

data signal.

Note: If you are trying to test the Close Call feature with a nearby transmitter (such
as a CB) and you do not talk into the transmitter, the scanner detects this
unmodulated carrier as data and skips the frequency when Data Skip is on. Turn the
feature off or talk into the transmitter to modulate the carrier.
This setting is ignored for AM/WFM/FMB channels.
