PRO-94 Tutorial: Limit Search

A Limit Search lets you search with a specific range of frequencies. -L- appears during a limit search. This tutorial will show you how to set a low frequency and high frequency and then search between those frequencies. Our example shows a search between 822.7375 MHz and 867.8875 MHz.

For additional information on this product, see the links below:

Step 1: Enter Programming Mode



Press PROG. PGM will appear on the display.


Step 2: Set the Lower Limit



Press LIMIT (SRC). Lo and 29.000 MHz (or the previous low limit frequency) will appear on the display. 29.000 MHz is the low end of the scanner's range.


Step 3: Enter the Low Frequency



Using the number pad, enter the frequency that is the lower limit of the range you want to search (including the decimal point). Press E (SVC). In this example, the low frequency is 822.7375.


Step 4: Set the Upper Limit



Press LIMIT (SRC). Hi and 1300.000 MHz (or the previous high limit frequency) appear. 1300.000 MHz is the upper limit of the scanner's range.


Step 5: Enter the High Frequency



Using the number pad, enter the frequency that is the upper limit of the range you want to search (including the decimal point). Press E (SVC) again. In this example, the high frequency is 867.8875.


Step 6: Select the Search Direction



Press the DOWN arrow key to search from the upper to the lower limit, or the UP arrow key to search from the lower to the upper limit. -L- will appear on the display. In this example, we have pressed down to search from the upper limit to the lower limit.


Step 7: Stop on a Transmission



When the scanner stops on a transmission, quickly press HOLD (A/B) to stop searching and listen to the transmission. HOLD will appear on the display. In the example above, we have stopped on frequency 867.6625 MHz.


Step 8: Store in Monitor Memory



With the scanner in HOLD mode, press MON/CLR (.) to store the displayed frequency into the current monitor memory.


Step 9: Search for Additional Frequencies



To continue searching, press HOLD (A/B) or the UP or DOWN arrow key for at least 1 second. If you didn't press MON/CLR (.), simply press the UP or DOWN arrow key.


Step 10: Exit Limit Search Mode



Press MAN. This will return you to manual mode.
