Product
features:
Close Call™ RF Capture Technology - Instantly detects and tunes to nearby
transmissions with no additional programming.
Close Call Do-Not-Disturb - Checks for Close Call activity in between channel
reception so active channels are not interrupted.
Close Call Temporary Store - Temporarily stores and scans the last 10 Close
Call hits so that you can continue to monitor activity on those frequencies, even
after you are out of Close Call detection range.
Dynamically Allocated Channel Memory - Your scanner’s 6,000 channels are
organized so that it more closely matches how radio systems actually work,
making it easier to program and use your scanner and determine how much
memory you have used and how much you have left.
Preprogrammed Systems - Your scanner is preprogrammed with over 500
agencies covering police, fire, and ambulance operations in the 25 most populated
counties in the US, plus the most popular digital systems.
100 Quick Keys - You can set the scanner so you can quickly select systems
and groups by using the keypad. This makes it easy to listen to or quickly lock out
those systems or groups you don’t want to scan.
13 Service Searches - Frequencies are preset in separate Public Safety, News,
HAM Radio, Marine, Railroad, Air, CB Radio, FRS/GMRS, Racing, TV Broadcast,
FM Broadcast, Military, Air, and Special searches, to make it easy to search for
specific transmissions.

Channel Lockout - You can lock out any system, group, frequency, or channel
while scanning. If you lock out a system or group, any channels belonging to that
system or group are also locked out.
Frequency Lockout - You can lock out up to 500 frequencies (250 permanently
locked out + 250 temporarily locked out). The scanner skips locked-out
frequencies while using the Close Call™ feature or while searching.
CTCSS and DCS Squelch Modes - Prevent interference from stations not using
the tone code you select.
Analog and Digital Audio AGC - Helps automatically balance the volume level
between different radio systems.
Fire Tone-Out Standby - Lets you set the scanner to alert you if a two-tone

Broadcast Screen - Sets the scanner to ignore Close Call™ or search hits on
known broadcast frequencies including common pager frequencies.
Custom Screen - Lets you input up to 10 frequency ranges that the scanner will
ignore during Close Call™ or search operation.
Scan/Search Delay - The scanner pauses at the end of a transmission to wait
for a reply. You can set the delay time for each system you scan, and while
searching and using the Close Call™ feature.
Attenuator - Reduces the input strength of strong signals by about 20 dB.
Repeater Reverse - Automatically switches to the input frequency on a
conventional repeater system.
Channel Alert - Alerts you when there is activity on any channel you specify
using your choice of nine unique alert tones.
Memory Check - Lets you see at a glance how much total memory is left.
Search with Scan Operation - Lets you include selected service searches or

radio systems, including systems in VHF, UHF, 700 MHz, 800 MHz, and 900 MHz
bands. The scanner can scan both conventional and trunked systems at the same
time.

more efficiently use the scanner’s memory and more easily select sites to monitor.
Control Channel Only Scanning - If the scanner is set to scan a Motorola
system, you can set it so it scans using only control channel data. You do not have
to program voice channel frequencies into memory in this mode as long as all
possible control channels are programmed.
