21 Beyond the Basics using CTCSS and DCS Your scanner’s advanced, DSP-based CTCSS and DCS, decoder allows you to listen only to a frequency group that is of interest to you. Simply specify the group’s specifi c CTCSS or DCS code for a certain frequency. CTCSS and DCS can also help reduce interfering signals that cause your scanner to stop on one channel. When your scanner stops on a conventional frequency that is confi gured for CTCSS or DCS, it checks for a match between the transmitted CTCSS or DCS code and the code stored in channel memory. If the transmitted and stored codes match, the scanner stops on the transmission and allows the audio to pass to the speaker. If the codes do not match, the scanner resumes scanning. If the special “search” code is in use, the scanner instantly displays any detected CTCSS code if programmed for CTCSS mode, or DCS code if programmed for DCS code. You can store the detected code into channel memory by pressing ENT while the code is displayed. searching a preprogrammed frequency range The scanner contains these preprogrammed search ranges, stored in the search bank (SR0-SR6). Bank Band SR0 Marine SR1 CB SR2 FRS/GMRS/MURS SR3 Police/Fire SR4 Aircraft SR5 Ham SR6 Limit search (User confi gurable) 1. Repeatedly press SRCH to select a search bank.
22 Beyond the Basics 2. In the marine, CB and FRS bands, you can directly select a channel or search through the band. When M appears on the left on the second line, you can directly select a channel (see “Search Bank Charts”). Use the numeric keypad to select a specifi c two-digit channel number (for example, press 1 6 to select Channel 16, or 0 5 to select channel 5). You can also change the channels by pressing e or d. There are several group banks in the SR3 Police/Fire and SR5 ham bands. You can turn on the groups by pressing the group numbers. For example, to turn on group 0, press 0. 3. Press FUNC, SRCH while M appears in SR0, SR1 or SR2. M changes to S. Then search through the band. To return to the previous mode, press FUNC, SRCH. 4. Rotate SQ clockwise and leave it set to a point just after the hissing sound stops. After two seconds (if the delay feature is on), the received frequency appears and the scanner starts searching. 5. When the scanner fi nds an active frequency, it stops searching, and resumes when the transmission ends. If delay is programmed with the search range the scanner will pause for a reply before search resumes. search bank charts Search bank: SR0 Marine band For some Marine frequencies, two frequencies are assigned to one channel, for example, 157.000 and 161.600 are assigned to Channel 20.

27 Beyond the Basics searching for active frequencies You can search a specifi c range of frequencies by programming SR6 with lower and upper frequency limits. 1. Press PGM, SRCH. PSR (Program Search) appears in the top line and the cursor blinks L on the second line for the lower limit frequency. 2. Use the number keys and ./DELAY to enter the desired lower limit frequency (including the decimal point). 3. Press ENTER to set the lower limit frequency. The cursor moves to upper frequency fi eld. If the entered frequency is incorrect, Invalid Freq briefl y appears in the scanner’s display. 4. Enter your desired upper frequency and press ENTER. 5. Rotate SQUELCH clockwise and leave it set to a point just after the hissing sound stops. 6. Press SRCH to start searching. When the scanner fi nds an active frequency, it stops searching. using Zeromatic Zeromatic sets the scanner to automatically tune to the correct center frequency (or the step increment closest to the correct center frequency) during a search. Turn Zeromatic on or off by pressing FUNC then 0. When this feature is turned on, Zeromatic ON briefl y appears on the display. Then, z appears as the fi rst digit on the second line. If the scanner stops on a signal before it reaches the correct center frequency, skip to the correct frequency using e or d. Zeromatic functions only in search banks 3, 4, 5, and 6. using seek search While the scanner is searching, press FUNC, 7 to turn on seek search. Seek ON appears on the bottom line. The scanner
28 Beyond the Basics stops on each active frequency for fi ve seconds then automatically resumes searching. • You can copy and save a frequency into a specifi ed bank, channel, or priority channel when the scanner fi nds an active frequency. See “Frequency Copy ” on Page 29 to save the frequency. Frequency copy works only in search banks 1 - 6. • In the Air and Limit search bands, press FUNC then e to start searching up from the lowest frequency or d to start searching down from the highest frequency. • You can press e or d at any time to change the search direction or resume searching while stopped on an active frequency. • Use e or d while paused to increment the frequency one step at a time. manually tuning to a frequency You can manually set the scanner to move through all receivable frequencies, or select a specifi c frequency as a starting point. 1. Press TUNE. TUNE, the current frequency, and ** PAUSED ** appear on the display. 2. Use the number keys to enter the frequency where you want the scanner to start. 3. Press ENT to store the frequency. Press e or d to step up or down from the displayed frequency, or press PAUSE to begin automatic tuning. 4. Press e or d to change the automatic tuning direction. The scanner stops when it fi nds an active frequency. If you press PAUSE while tuning, the scanner stops tuning and **PAUSED** appears on the display. Press PAUSE again, and the scanner resumes tuning. NoteNote
29 Beyond the Basics frequency copy You can copy a frequency into a specifi ed channel, a vacant channel in a specifi ed bank, or a priority channel. This feature lets you easily store frequencies of interest you encounter while searching or tuning. You cannot copy a frequency from the Marine search bands. copying a frequency into a specifi ed channel You can copy a frequency into a channel you specify when the scanner stops on that frequency during search mode or when you manually tune it. If a CTCSS or DCS code is detected on the transmission, the scanner copies the detected code into the channel memory as well. If you try to copy a frequency that is already stored, the scanner sounds a tone after you press ENT. Dupl.f Chxxx appears at the bottom line. To copy the duplicate frequency anyway, press ENT. Otherwise, press CLEAR to cancel. 1. Press FUNC, PROG when you fi nd a frequency. Chan Store? appears on the bottom line. After about one second, the frequency to be copied fl ashes on the indicator. 2. Press the desired bank number and channel number where you want to store the frequency. The bank and channel number, then the frequency appear. You can repeat this step as needed until you fi nd an acceptable destination channel. After about one second, the frequency to be copied fl ashes. 3. Press ENT. All the conditions, such as receive mode and delay condition, are copied onto the channel. Chan Store! briefl y appears. The scanner automatically returns to search mode.
30 Beyond the Basics copying a frequency to a vacant channel into a specifi ed bank You can copy a frequency into a vacant channel in a bank you specify when the scanner stops on the frequency during search or tune mode. If you try to copy a frequency that is already stored, the scanner sounds a tone after you press ENT. Dupl.f Chxxx appears at the bottom line. To copy the duplicate frequency anyway, press ENT. Otherwise, press CLEAR to cancel. 1. Press FUNC, ENT when you fi nd a frequency you want to copy. Bank9 Store? appears. 2. To copy the frequency into bank 9, press ENT. The scanner stores the frequency in the fi rst available vacant channel in the bank. Otherwise, enter any bank number then press ENT to store the frequency in the selected bank. Chan Store! appears for two seconds. All the conditions, such as receiving mode and delay condition, are copied on the channel. After about two seconds, the scanner automatically returns to search mode. copying a frequency to the priority channel You can copy a frequency into the priority channel (see “Programming the Priority Channel”) when the scanner stops on the frequency during Search, Scan, Manual, Tune, or WX mode. Press FUNC, PRI when the frequency appears. The display fl ashes twice and the frequency is copied to the priority channel.
