Classic channel scanner
#receive#scanner#channels
What it does
SimpleThis is the classic 'scanner' you might know from police/fire radios: give it a list of channels and it keeps flipping through them, stopping whenever one comes alive so you can listen. It's simpler and more channel-list-focused than Recon.
How it works
SimpleIt checks each saved channel in turn, and stops the moment it hears activity, then carries on when it goes quiet.
How to use it, step by step
Simple- Save some channels first.
- Open 'Scanner'.
- Let it cycle and stop on busy channels.
Examples
Monitor a group
Watch a set of local channels and catch whichever one activates.
Scanner vs Recon
Compare list-scanning here with range-sweeping in Recon.
Tips & things to try
- Use the Frequency Manager to build and maintain your scan list.
- Set squelch just above the noise floor so it doesn't stop on static.
