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 0716 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!
Exclusive ALERT LED - Programmable tri-color LED can be
configured to illuminate or flash when certain objects are active.
Eight user-defined colors and brightness levels can be specified
from thousands of possible combinations. Provides visual alerts
when certain channels are active, e.g., blue can be used to
signal activity on your primary police channel, red for fire, etc.
Audible alarms - Programmable audible alarms can be
configured to sound when certain Scannable Objects are active.
Can be used in conjunction with, or separately from, the ALERT
LED described above.
High Speed PC Interface - uses GRE s 30-3290 USB cable in
full duplex mode at 6 times the speed of previous scanner
models for PC transfer and 8 times the speed of previous models
for radio to radio cloning.
Real-time Signal Strength Indicator – shows relative strength
of received signals.
Sleek, attractive case design with large speaker is well suited
for tabletop, mobile or DIN mounting.

Background

Long time scanner enthusiasts probably remember the days
before microprocessors became common in everyday consumer
devices. Back then, scanners had very limited capabilities. A
typical scanner was able to scan between 2 and 10 frequencies,
and relied on plug-in crystal elements for each frequency that a
user wished to scan. Scanning activity was typically shown on a
row of incandescent or LED indicators. These indicators would
show scanning operation in progress as the scanner moved from
one channel to the next, looking for activity, and would indicate
the active channel when activity was found. Pushbuttons or
switches were used to skip or lock out undesired channels. The
scanning row of LEDs or incandescent indicators seemed to
