delay
Sometimes a user might pause before replying to a
transmission. To avoid missing a reply on a specific
channel, you can program a 2-second delay into any
channel or frequency. The scanner continues to
monitor the channel frequency for an additional 2
seconds after the transmission stops before
resuming scanning or searching. The scanner
automatically sets a delay when you store
frequencies into channels or when you search
frequencies. When the delay feature is on, DLY
appears. If it is off, follow one of these steps to
program a delay depending on how the scanner is
operating.
If the scanner is scanning and stops on an active
channel where you want to store a delay, quickly
press FUNC and DLY before it continues
scanning again. DLY appears.
If the desired channel is not selected, manually
select the channel, and then press FUNC and
DLY. DLY appears.
If the scanner is searching, press FUNC and DLY
while the scanner is searching. DLY appears and
the scanner automatically adds a 2-second delay
to every frequency it stops on in that band.
To turn off the 2-second delay, press FUNC and DLY
while the scanner is monitoring a channel, scanning,
or searching. DLY disappears.
