Beyond the Basics
• The attenuator is very effective at reducing strong signal
overload interference when using the scanner in areas
close to cellular telephone transmitting facilities.
• If you turn on the attenuator, the scanner might not receive

You can press ATT during a trunking call or while manually
tuned to a system control channel to toggle attenuation on
or off for the trunking system.
