computer and programming software available anytime. You can use V-Scanners to store
configurations for different geographical areas or usage styles. Twenty one V-Scanner Folders
are provided, each capable of storing over 1,800 objects. Total memory capacity of main memory
combined with V-Scanners is over 37,800 objects!
SKYWARN Storm Spotter Functionality - Instant access to frequencies used by storm spotter
networks. You can monitor storm conditions as they occur, and become aware of dangerous
conditions before the media or emergency management officials are able to announce them to
the general public.
SAME and All Hazards Weather Alerting - Your scanner can operate in dedicated Specific Area
Message Encoding (SAME) weather alerting mode, and alert you to severe weather and other
hazards in the specific area(s) that you select, or, your scanner can check your local NOAA
weather frequency periodically, even while scanning and alert you when an All Hazards alert
occurs.
Multi-System Trunking - Scans most common trunked radio system signaling formats,
including Motorola, EDACS, LTR and P25 trunked radio networks. Both talkgroup and
individual call monitoring are supported.
Automatic Adaptive Digital Tracking - When monitoring P25 digital systems, instantly adapts
the digital decoder to the digital modulation format of the transmitted signal, then analyzes the
signal over 50 times each second and adapts to any subtle changes caused by multipath or
fading. No cumbersome manual adjustments are required.
Digital AGC - instantly compensates for low user audio levels that are very common on digital
systems. This makes the radio easier to listen to, and provides you with a more enjoyable
scanning experience.
LTR Home Repeater AutoMove - Takes the guesswork out of programming LTR trunking
systems when the home repeater order is not known. Enter the LTR system frequencies in any
order, and the ADV0801 will automatically move the frequencies to the proper home repeater
slots as transmissions are received on the system.
The Best Subaudible Squelch Decoder in the Scanning Industry - CTCSS and DCS subaudible
squelch coding is processed by the same powerful DSP chip that is used for P25 digital decoding.
Provides fast and reliable decoding of subaudible squelch signaling with squelch tail
elimination.
Powerful Signal Stalker - Quickly sweeps the scanner's frequency ranges for transmissions from
nearby sources. When a nearby active frequency is found, the scanner automatically tunes to
that frequency and receives the traffic.
P25 NAC Functionality - Much like CTCSS and DCS with analog signals, P25 Network Access
Code (NAC) is used to provide selective squelch operation on conventional digital channels. Your
ADV0801 will detect the NAC that is being used on a P25 conventional digital channel, and
allow you to program NAC codes to block transmissions that do not have a matching NAC,
including analog traffic on the same frequency!
