User manual

The scanner allows you to skip undesired frequencies from search or scanning.
• Just press SKIP on such a frequency and the frequency will be marked on the ´display with
“SKIP”
• During next search cycle the scanner will not any more stop on this frequency.
• To disable the skip function again, just go to the desired frequency and press SKIP once more
- you will see SKIP disappearing from the display.
Memory Scanning
Now you have successfully saved a couple of frequencies into the scanner’s memory locations. If
you like to check only these stored frequencies, then press RECALL and press Start-Stop to start,
stop or restart the scanning.
Hints:
• If you do not have any frequency stored in the scanner’s memory, the display will show
No.dAtA
• If the scanner picks up too much noise or stops at noisy signals, you should increase the
squelch level setting.
• To listen to more distant stations, it may be necessary to reduce the squelch level or to use
the MONITOR key on the left side to open the squelch.
• When the scanner finds a transmission, it will stop there. To avoid a too early restart after a
signal disappeared, we recommend to add a delay of some seconds.
• Please note that scanner specialist have a special name for stored frequencies: they call
them now channels.
• Scanning channels means: scanning all memory locations one after the other for known
stations.
• Searching means: scanning the bands from a start frequency to a stop frequency for
Frequencies which are just in use or for still unknown stations.
Setting the frequency steps:
In the German pre programmed band plan, the frequency steps are pre-defined (e.g. in the 4 m Band)
In other bands, it is possible to change the steps according to the transmission parameters which are
used there.
• Where necessary, go to the desired band and change the steps with the keys F + STEP and
select with UP/DOWN. In all bands, the possible steps may be different.
• The step selection may be especially useful in the CB band, because CB is using worldwide
10 kHz steps with + 5 kHz offset (the display shows “5 ”), and only in Poland they use 10 kHz
without any offset, where the display shows “0 ”.
Priority ON/ OFF
You can program up to 5 special channels which may be more important for you compared to other
channels. Such channels can be stored into memory locations P1 – P5.
• These channels P1 to P5 will be only checked if the Priority Function is switched on.
• If the Priority function is not on, then the normal scanning does not include these channels. in
that mode they are hidden.
The difference between priority and normal channel can be observed in cases were many channels
are stored. Then during scanning, the priority channels will be inserted into the scanning sequence at
least every 2 seconds. So these channels are more often checked than others.
Please note that the Priority function is only available if at least 1 frequency or more are already
saved into normal memory locations as well.
