SKIPPING DATA
SIGNALS
You can set the scanner so it skips
nonmodulated or data signals (such
as modem transmissions) during a
scan or search.
Note: Since data signals are not gen-
erally found in the air band, this fea-
ture does not work in the air service
bank.
To turn on the data skip feature, be
sure the priority feature is turned off
(see “Priority” on Page 24), then press
DATA . DATA appears. To turn off the
feature, press DATA again. DATA dis-
appears.
TRUNK TRACKING
Your scanner is designed to track
transmissions on Motorola Type I,
Type II, and hybrid analog trunking
systems, which are extensively used
in 800 MHz communications. Remem-
ber these important points when track-
ing transmissions:
• Your scanner monitors Type II
systems by default. However, you
can change this if the system in
your area is different (see “Types
of Trunking Systems” on this page
and “Scanning Type I and Hybrid
Trunked Systems” on Page 33 for
more information).
