Priority; Changing The Receive Mode - GRE PSR-295 Owner's Manual

Note: You cannot clear all locked out frequencies (an-
other banks locked out frequencies) if all frequencies in
the selected bank are locked out.

Priority

In addition to the 1,000 programmable memory chan-
nels, the scanner has one priority channel.
With the priority feature, you can scan through pro-
grammed channels and still not miss an important or in-
teresting transmission on a specific channel. When prior-
ity is turned on, the scanner checks that channel every 2
seconds, and stays on the channel if there is activity until
the activity stops.
To program a frequency in the priority channel:
1. Press MANUAL.
2. Use the number keys to enter the channel number
which contains the frequency you want to program as
the priority channel. Then press MANUAL again.
3. Press FUNC then PRI. Pri Channel blinks on the bot-
tom line.
To program the priority channel directly:
1. Press PGM.
2. Press PRI.
3. Enter the frequency you want to enter into the priority
channel, then press ENTER.
To turn on the priority feature, press PRI. P:On appears
on the bottom line. If the scanner detects activity on the
priority channel, Pri Chan appears.
Note: If you change the receive mode at a priority chan-
nel to DPL or CTCSS, P:DC or P:CT appears instead of
P:On.
To turn off the priority feature, press PRI. P:On changes
to P:Off

Changing the Receive Mode

The scanner is preset to the most common AM or FM
receive mode for each frequency range. The preset mode
is correct in most cases. However, some amateur radio
transmissions and some business radio do not operate
in the preset mode. If you try to listen to a transmission
when the scanner is not set to the correct receive mode,
the transmission might sound weak or distorted.
