Feature Highlights

Trunk Tracking – Follow 800 MHz trunked public safety and public service systems just as
if conventional two-way communications were used.
300 Channels – Program one frequency into each channel. You must have at least one
channel programmed to use the Scan mode.
10 Banks – Each bank contains 30 channels, large enough for even the largest trunked
systems or useful for storing similar frequencies to maintain faster scanning cycles.
Signal Strength Meter – Your scanner has a signal strength meter, which displays the
relative strength of an active transmission, using up to five separate indicators.
CTCSS – (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) When activated, your scanner will
only tune to a frequency if the associated CTCSS tone you have programmed is included
with the transmission. You can also use this feature to search for a CTCSS tone when
monitoring a transmission.
14 Bands – Includes 14 bands, with Aircraft and 800 MHz.
29 MHz-956 MHz – Your scanner covers an extensive frequency range so that you can
monitor most of the transmissions in your area.
Note: The frequency coverage is not continuous and excludes the cellular band.
10 Priority Channels – You can assign one priority channel in each bank. Assigning a
priority channel allows you to keep track of activity on your most important channel(s) while
monitoring other channels for transmissions.
VFO Control – (Variable Frequency Oscillator) Turn the large Rotary Tuner to select a
desired frequency or channel.
AutoStore – Automatically stores all active frequencies within the specified bank(s).
Weather Alert – Lets your scanner function as a severe weather warning radio.
AutoSort – Programmed frequencies are automatically sorted within each bank for faster
scanning.
Unique Data Skip – Allows your scanner to skip unwanted data transmissions and reduces
birdies.
Memory Backup – If power is lost or disconnected, the frequencies programmed in your
scanner are retained in memory.
M
LCD Back Light – Use to select one of three different settings for the display
backlight.
Auto Recording — Automatically record channel activity during scanning onto a tape
recorder.
Y
Scan/Search Delay – In the Scan or Search Modes, causes the scanner to remain
on the frequency two seconds after the last transmission to wait for a possible reply.
