Set Modulation  L 
Auto - the scanner uses the default modulation for 
the frequency band.
FM - the scanner uses FM (frequency modulation) for 
the frequency band.
NFM  - the scanner uses narrowband FM for the 
frequency band.
Note: The default setting is Auto.
This setting controls the modulation method used for 
the frequency band. In most cases, if you leave this 
set to Auto, the scanner automatically selects the 
correct modulation type for the system you are 
programming.
Setting Attenuation

Set Attenuator  L 
This setting controls whether the attenuator will be on 
or off for the current system. Select your setting then 
press the scroll control.
Off - the attenuator is off.
On - system frequencies are attenuated by about 18 
dB.
Notes:
• Even if ATT appears, attenuation might not work if 
the bar antenna is turned on and the tuned 
frequency is from 0.1 to 1.7 MHz.
• Turn on this setting if you are near strong signal 
sources. Attenuation can help reduce interference 
and desensitization that strong signals create.
