It will halt on signals encountered, so you can talk to the station(s) on that frequency, if you like. Before you begin, take a moment to select the way in which you would like the scanner to resume scanning after it halts on a signal. SETTING THE SCAN-RESUME MODE Eleven options for the Scan-Resume mode are available: 2. 0sec - 10. 0sec: In this mode, the scanner will halt on a signal it encounters, and will hold there for the selected resume time. If you do not take action to disable the scanner within that time period, the scanner will resume even if the stations are still active. When the carrier has dropped because the other station(s) ceased transmission, the scanner will resume. In the case of constant-carrier signals like Weather Station broadcasts, the scanner will likely remain on this frequency indefinitely. The Scan Re-start Delay time (default interval: 2 seconds) is set by the Set Mode Item 44: SCAN RE-START. It will not restart automatically; you must manually re-initiate scanning if you wish to resume. Press and hold in the [BANK] key for one second to enter the Set mode.
