SPECIAL FEATURES
DELAY
Many agencies use a two-way
radio system that has a period of
several seconds between a query
and a reply. To avoid missing a
reply, you can program a 2-
second delay into any channel or
frequency. When your scanner
stops on a channel or frequency
with a programmed delay,
DLY
appears and the scanner
continues to monitor that
frequency for 2 seconds after the
transmission stops before
resuming scanning or searching.
You can program a 2-second
delay in any of these ways:
• If the scanner is scanning and
stops on an active channel,
quickly press DELAY
/•
before
it resumes scanning.
• If the desired channel is not
selected, manually select the
channel, then press DELAY
/•
.
• If the scanner is searching,
press DELAY
/•
.
DLY appears
and the scanner automatically
adds a 2-second delay to
every transmission it stops on
in that band.
To turn off the 2-second delay in a
channel or frequency, press
DELAY
/•
while the scanner is
monitoring that channel or
frequency.
DLY disappears.
