USING THE DELAY
FUNCTION
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–

frequency with a programmed delay,

monitor that frequency for an additional 2
seconds after the transmission stops before
resuming scanning or searching.
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
before it continues scanning.
