SIGNAL STALKER
Signal Stalker
Your scanner's Signal Stalker feature lets you set the
scanner so it detects then displays the frequency of
a nearby strong radio transmission. You can set the
scanner so Signal Stalker works "in the background"
while you are scanning other frequencies, turn off
normal scanning while Signal Stalker is working, or
turn off Signal Stalker and use the scanner normally.
You can set the scanner so it alerts you when Signal
Stalker finds a frequency. You can also set the
frequency band where you want the scanner to look
for transmissions.
Notes:
. Signal Stalker works well for locating the source
of strong local transmissions such as mobile
and handheld two-way radios in areas with no
other strong transmission sources. However, if
you are in an area with many transmission
sources (such as pager radio transmitters, multiuse
radio towers, traffic control devices, etc.), Signal Stalker might not find the
transmission
you are searching for, or it might find a
transmission other than the one you are
searching for. You can screen unwanted
transmissions by pressing FUNC + L/O to lock
them out. See “Locking Out Frequencies” on
Page 49 for more information.
. Signal Stalker cannot detect satellite dishes or
any transmitter with a frequency above or below
