Search Speeds

The scanner has two search speeds: Normal search at 90 steps/second and
Hypersearch at 270 steps/second.

Signal Stalker I

Signal Stalker I detects and displays the frequency of nearby strong radio
transmissions. Signal Stalker I works well for locating mobile and handheld
two way radios in areas with no other strong transmission sources.
Signal Stalker I might not correctly display frequency information for
transmitters using a highly directive antenna (such as an amateur radio beam
antenna), if there are many transmitters operating at the same time in the
same area, or if the transmitter is a broadcast television station.
