A scan cycle can be started via: Manual > 2)Search > 1)Start.
To stop a scan, press the END/ESC key.
When a scan is started from the Search menu, 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 incrementing the frequency according to the
frequency step until the maximum frequency is reached.
While scanning, the LCD shows the current frequency and the antenna being
scanned. After a valid detection is made, the LCD also shows the transmitter’s
ID, the time, the type of transmitter, and the 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, four choices are available: exit Search, edit settings, pause
the scan, or resume scanning.
