stored channels). As the scanner scans each bank, it checks that bank's
priority channel every 2 seconds for activity.
Notes: You cannot use the priority and data detection features at the
same time (see "Detecting Data Signals" below).
You can skip priority channels. If you skip all priority channels,
the display shows P CH LOC OUt when you turn on the priority
feature. See "Skipping Frequencies/Channels" above.
The priority feature must be turned off to listen to monitor
memories.
The scanner automatically designates the first channel in each bank as
that bank's priority channel.
Follow these steps to program a different channel as the priority channel.
1. Use the number keys to enter the channel number you want to program as
the priority channel, then press PRIORITY/H/S. P appears on the
display to the right of the channel number.
3. Repeat Steps 1-2 for each channel you want to program in a bank as a
priority channel.
4. To confirm all priority channel numbers for all banks, press PROGRAM
then repeatedly press PRIORITY/H/S.
To turn on the priority feature, press PRIORITY/H/S during scanning. PRI
appears on the display and the scanner checks the priority channel in each
selected bank every 2 seconds. It stays on the channel if there is
activity, and P appears on the display.
To turn off the priority feature, press PRIORITY/H/S. PRI disappears from
the display.
Note: If you are scanning more than one bank in which a priority channel
has been programmed, the scanner stops on the lowest-numbered
priority channel first while scanning.
Changing The Search Speed
You can adjust your scanner's search speed. You can set the scanner to
search at either 100 steps per second (normal search speed) or 300 steps
per second (HyperSearch speed).
Note: You can use the HyperSearch speed only in 5 kHz-step bands. (See
"Band Mode and Frequency Step" below).
To select the HyperSearch speed during a band or direct search, press
PRIORITY/H/S. SRCH flashes on the display.
Detecting Data Signals
You can set the scanner to detect un-modulated carriers or data signals
(such as preamble signals for pagers) during scanning, band search, direct
search, or service bank search.
Note: You cannot detect data signals in the air band (AM mode). See "Band
Mode and Frequency Step" below.
