data skip

A scanner will normally stop on any transmission it receives.

This means the scanner will occasionally stop on data signals

and unmodulated transmissions.

You can automatically skip many of these types of transmissions

during search.

1. To activate the data skip feature, press DATA in scan or

search mode. DATA appears on the display.

2. To deactivate the Data Skip feature, press DATA again.

DATA disappears.

When data skip is active, your scanner may pause

momentarily on an unwanted signal, but will resume

searching in two or three seconds. The data skip feature is

active, as well as scan mode and service search mode. Data

skip does not function while scanning service bands (for AIR,

CB, or Weather band), or while in priority scan and trunking

modes.
