— Hint
Liquid-Crystal Display —
makes it easy to view and
change programming
information. The display
backlight also makes the
scanner easy to read in
low-light situations.
One-Touch Search
Banks — let you search
preset frequencies in
separate ham radio,
police/fire/emergency,
aircraft, weather, and
marine banks, to make it
easy to locate specific
types of calls.
Priority Channel — lets
you program a frequency
into the priority channel. As
the scanner scans, it
checks the priority channel
every 2 seconds so you do
not miss transmissions on
that channel. Tune — lets you tune
for new and unlisted
frequencies starting
from a specified
frequency.
