With Scan Sets you can quickly select large groups
of Scanlists to enable or disable, just by enabling or
disabling the Scan Sets that contain the desired groups
of Scanlists, instead of individually editing the list of
enabled Scanlists every time you want to change the
group of Scanlists you wish to monitor.
For example:
On Scanlists 01 through 30 you decide to put all of
City1. On Scanlists 31 through 50 you decided to put all
of City 2, on Scanlists 51 through 62 you decided to put
all of City 3. When you move from city to city, it would
take some time to individually toggle off the unwanted
scanlists and toggle on the new ones. This is where
Scan sets come in.
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.
