changing the receive mode
The scanner is preset to the most common AM or FM receive
mode for each frequency range. The preset mode is correct
in most cases. However, some amateur radio transmissions
and trunked systems do not operate in the preset mode. If
you try to listen to a transmission when the scanner is not set
to the correct receive mode, the transmission might sound
weak or distorted.
If you want to listen to trunking transmissions in closed
mode, you might have to change the receive mode.
To change the receive mode, repeatedly press MODE. The
receive mode changes as follows:
AM – accesses the AM mode
FM – accesses the FM mode
