User Guide

NOTE: When you start a scan, the first thing the scanner

does is check to see what Scan set(s) is (are) enabled.

It finds Scan set 01 on by default. Next it checks to

see what Scanlists are permitted in Scan set 01 and it

finds that every scanlist is checked (all are allowed).

This means the scanner will use the checked Scanlist

boxes to control what Scanlists are scanned. If you have

objects stored and the scanner reports, “Nothing to

Scan!” Check to see if you accidentally unchecked the

box for Scan set 01.

Rename Scan set 01 to City 1 name and uncheck all

boxes 31 and up. Leave Skywarn® checked so you can

enable Skywarn if you are in City 1. Rename Scan set

02 to City 2 name and check scanlist boxes 31 through

50 and Skywarn, all others should be off. And finally,

rename Scan set 03 to City 3 name and check boxes for

Scanlists 51 through 62 and Skywarn.

Now when changing from city to city, simply uncheck

the Scanset box for the city you are leaving and check

the box for the one you are entering.

Searching

You can locate active frequencies quickly and

easily using one of the Scanner’s three convenient

frequency search modes:

• Spectrum Sweeper – sweeps rapidly through

frequency ranges in 1MHz blocks. Unlike the

frequency counter method used in other scanners,

Spectrum Sweeper is far more sensitive, arguably

just as fast and the only technology that lets you lock

out and keep searching in the same band.

• Service Search – searches through frequencies

used by the following radio services: Public

Safety, Aircraft, Railroad, Amateur, CB,Marine, and

FRS/ GMRS/MURS. This is a good way to find activity

on local frequencies.

• Limit Search – searches within a range of

frequencies that you define.

To use Spectrum Sweeper:

1. In the main menu, select Search, and press  to

enter the search menu.

2. Select Spectrum Sweeper and press .

3. Select All Bands or Public Safety and press right

() to start the search. Spectrum Sweeper

sweeps through frequency ranges in 1 MHz blocks.

4. Press MENU to stop search which enters Sweeper

menu where you can select fewer bands to search.
