S TARTING A SCAN VIA SEARCH
A scan cycle can be started via Manual > 2)Search > 1)Start. To stop a scan, press
the END/ESC key.
Starting a scan from the Search menu means that the receiver scans through a
range of frequencies looking for a signal, using the Frequency Step setting. The
frequency step is the increment in kHz that the receiver uses to increase the
frequency as a scan proceeds.
The frequency range is defined by entering a Maximum Frequency and a
Minimum Frequency. After a scan is started the receiver begins scanning the
minimum frequency and then increments the frequency according to the
frequency step until the maximum frequency is reached.
While scanning, the LCD display provides information on the current frequency
and antenna being scanned. After a valid detection is made the display also
provides the transmitter’s ID and the time, type of transmitter and signal
strength.
If a valid detection is made on any frequency during the scan the receiver
continues scanning the frequencies for that transmitter until it finds a local
maximum for that frequency, at which point it stops scanning and displays the
maximum signal strength and the frequency at which it was found.
The local maximum is the frequency at which the signal strength is highest
for a given transmitter.
Once a scan is stopped there are four choices: exit Search, edit settings, pause the
scan or resume scanning.
S ELECTING A CODE SET
Codes Sets are accessed via Manual > 2)Search > 1)Start > 1)Code Set. Use the

code set feature only provides current setting information.
