To determine whether the information on this page applies to your
scanner, see the tags at the bottom of the page.
The menu items under Set Bear Tracker affect how the Beartracker Warning System
operates. The Bear Tracker Warning system is turned on by repeatedly pressing HP/ALT
until BT appears in the bottom row of the display.
When Bear Tracker Warning System is turned on the scanner will check the Bear
Tracker state-by-state frequencies every 2 seconds. You will hear a brief break in
transmissions when the scanner makes the check. You select the state to use by
FUNCTION + Tap Volume, then rotate the scroll control to select your state. These
frequencies are frequencies typically used by Highway Patrol, State Police, State Patrol,
and Air Patrol that are typically receivable from short ranges (<2 miles). If the scanner
detects a transmission in Bear Tracker mode, it sounds an alert to let you know of nearby
law enforcement activities.
