Channels Dynamic – You can create up to 9,000 total conventional channels,
trunked channels, and trunked system frequencies. *
Channels in a conventional system contain a frequency. *
Channels in a trunked system contain a talk group ID (TGID). |
|
3. |
Memory Architecture Absolute Limits: Systems 500 Sites Total 1,000 Sites/System
256 Channel Groups per System 20 Channels+System Frequencies 9,000 Channels per
conventional system 1000 Channels per trunked system 500 Trunk Frequencies per
Site 500-1000 (depending on total TGIDs stored in the system) Notes about
limits: * The actual results will be limited by the
first absolute limit you hit. For example, if you have created 1000 sites, you
will not be able to create a new system even though you have created fewer than
500 systems. * You can check the % of memory used by
using the menu. |
|
4. |
Channel Memory Scan The scanner can scan any combination of trunked and
conventional systems simultaneously. |
|
5. |
Priority Scan The scanner checks conventional priority channels every 1-10
seconds (2 seconds default) when scanning a conventional system. |
|
6. |
Priority Plus Scan The scanner scans only the conventional priority channels. |
|
7. |

system scanning. |
|
8. |
Scan Speed 100 Channels/Second (max) for conventional systems. |
|
9. |
Scanning Lockout You can lock out any System, Site, Channel Group, Channel, or
search frequency. Locked out channels are skipped (or ignored) during scanning.
If a system, site, or channel group is locked, all channels belonging to it will
be skipped during scanning. |
|
10. |
Temporary Lockout Sites, Systems, Channels, or Frequencies temporarily locked
out are automatically unlocked when power is cycled. |
|
11. |
Quick Keys You can assign an SQK (System/Site/Search Quick Key) from 0-99. You
can assign a GQK (channel Group Quick Key) from 0-9. Quick keys can be rapidly
enabled/disabled from the keypad during scanning. |
|
12. |
Startup Configuration You can assign a startup configuration key to a system or
search range so that it can be automatically locked out or unlocked during power
up. |
|
13. |
Channel Alert You can set a separate audible/visual alert for each channel. |
|
14. |
Alpha Tagging You can assign an alphanumeric name to each System, Site, Channel
Group, Channel, Location, Custom search range, SAME group, and Tone-Out. You can
use 16 characters per tag. |
|
15. |
Duplicate Input Alert The scanner will alert you if an entered alpha tag,
frequency, etc has already been used in the same system. |
|
16. |
Number Tag You can assign a unique number tag from 0-999 to each system and to
each channel within a system. This tag allows you to rapidly tune to a specific
channel. |
|
17. |
Trunk Tracking The scanner can track the following types of trunked systems:
* Motorola Type I 800 *
Motorola Type II 800, 900, UHF, VHF * Motorola
Rebanded * EDACS Wide, Narrow, SCAT
* EDACS ESK (No ProVoice Decoding) * LTR |
|
18. |
Multi-Site System All trunked systems can have more than one site. All sites in
the system share the same Channel Groups and Channels. |
|
19. |
Control Channel Only Trunk Tracking can be achieved by entering only the control
channels for Motorola systems. |
|
20. |
Priority ID Scanning Trunked channels can be assigned priority. When the scanner
is monitoring the control channel, channels you tag as priority are given a
higher priority over non-priority channels when they become active. |
|
21. |
Preemptive Priority ID Scanning For Motorola systems that have channel priority
active on the system, if you flag a channel as priority and the system also has
that TGID identified as a priority channel, the scanner will preempt any current
transmission if the TGID becomes active. |
|
22. |
Trunking Activity Indicators The scanner shows all trunked activity when you
hold on the control channel. |
|
23. |
Custom Search You can program up to 10 custom search ranges and either search
them exclusively or include these searches when scanning. |
|
24. |
Quick Search If you hold on a conventional channel, you can start searching from
the current frequency. If you hold on a trunked channel, you can quickly switch
to ID Search mode. |
|
25. |
Frequency Autostore The scanner can automatically store frequencies found during
a search. |
|
26. |
Search Speed / Turbo Search * 100 Steps/Second in
search mode (max, except for 5 kHz steps) * 300
Steps/Second in search mode (max, 5 kHz steps) * Turbo
mode automatically applies to 5 kHz step searches. |
|
27. |
Search Lockout You can lock out up to 500 frequencies. *
The limit of temporary L/O frequencies: 250 * The
limit of permanent L/O frequencies: 250 * Locked out
frequencies will be skipped in Search Mode or Close Call Mode.* You can review all locked out frequencies in Menu
Mode. |
|
28. |
Search Key Search keys are short cuts to start searching for a single search
range. There are 3 search keys (sr1 to sr3). |
|
29. |
Service Search You can search preset frequencies typically used by specific
agencies or groups. The kind of Service Search is as follows:
Public Safety, News, HAM Radio, Marine, Railroad, Air, CB Radio, FRS/GMRS/MURS,
Racing, FM Broadcast, Special |
|
30. |
Broadcast Screen Allows the scanner to ignore hits on Pager, FM, UHF TV, VHF TV,
NOAA WX and custom band frequencies. |
|
31. |
Attenuator You can attenuate the incoming signal for channels that get
interference from strong signal sources. You can set a global attenuator to
apply attenuation to all reception. |
|
32. |
Code Search Rapid search for the CTCSS/DCS used during a transmission. |
|
33. |
Volume Offset Adjust the volume level for any channel from -3 to +3 steps to
balance audio level. |
|
34. |
IF Exchange Switches the current frequency to use a different IF (intermediate
frequency) for receiving radio signals to avoid interference. |
|
35. |
Dropout Delay Controls whether the scanner pauses at the end of a transmission
to wait for a reply. You can set the Delay time for each System. All Channels in
the System share the same delay setting. You can also set the Delay time for
Search, Close Call and Tone-Out. You can set the minus delay time. In that case,
the scanner only stops on transmissions for the set duration, then automatically
resumes. |
|
36. |
Weather and SAME Alert The scanner can alert to Weather Alert Tone, all FIPS or
selected FIPS. |
|
37. |
Close Call® Frequency Capture The scanner can immediately detect and lock onto a
transmission above threshold signal strength. |
|
38. |
Close Call Temporary Store The scanner scans the last 10 frequencies captured by
Close Call so that you can continue to receive the signal even after the signal
is not strong enough to trigger a Close Call hit. |
|
39. |
Tone-Out Sequential Decode Lets you set the scanner to act as a two-tone pager
for fire tone-out standby. If you do not know the tones being used, the scanner
can detect the tones when it receives a page. |
