Underst anding the Scanner ’ s Memory Y our scanner ’s memory is organized in an a[...]

16 This is dif ferent from scanning because you are searching for frequencies th at have not been programmed into the scann er . When you select frequency bands to search, the scanner searches fo r any active frequency within the lower and upp er limits you specify . When the scanner find s an active frequency , it stops on that frequency as long a[...]

17 Understanding Scanning with each other to the point where it is impossible to clearly receive any of the st ations. A scanner equipped with CTCSS a nd DCS (like your scanner) can code each received fr equency with a specific CTCSS or DCS frequency . Then, when you receive multiple signals, you only he ar the transmiss ion with the CTCSS or DCS t[...]

18 Conventional Scanning Conventional scanning is a relatively simple concept. Each group of users in a conventional system is assigned a single frequency (for simplex systems) or two frequencies (for repeater syste ms) . An y t ime one of them transmits, their transmission always goe s out on the same frequency . T oday there are still many 2-way [...]

19 Understanding Scanning Repeater Operation Repeater systems use two frequencies: on e transmits from the radio to a central repeater; the other tr ansmits from the repe ater to other rad ios in the system. With a repeater-based system, the repea ter is located on top of a tall building or on a radio towe r that provides great visibility to the ar[...]
