Automatically Storing Frequencies
During searching, you can have the scanner automatically
store active frequencies into a bank you choose.
1:SERVICE OPTION → :CHAIN SEARCH →
6:AUTO STORE → 1:ON
1. Press the numbers corresponding to the banks you want
the scanner to store found frequencies into.
2. Press SEARCH to start the auto-store operation.
3. Press HOLD/MAN to stop auto-store. The scanner exits
the auto-store mode.
Note: To ensure that you catch most active frequencies for
the band, you should allow the auto-store operation to
continue through at least a few complete sweeps of the
band. Depending on the types of services, some
occasionally active frequencies might not have activity
for minutes or hours at a time.
Setting Subaudible Tones for Searching
You can set the scanner to only stop on transmissions that
either have no subaudible tone or include a specified CTCSS
or DCS tone during searches. This setting affects all search
ranges. For this feature to work, you need to turn on the Tone
Mode (see “Setting Squelch Mode”).
1:SERVICE OPTION → :CHAIN SEARCH →
5:TONE DATA

Note: If, instead of pressing E to select a tone you press L/O,
the scanner will stop on any transmission except for
those with the selected tone.
Searching for Subaudible Tones
If you set the system tone option to 3:TONE SEARCH (see
“Setting Squelch Mode”), the scanner will determine the
correct tone for the received signal.
