CHANGING THE
MODULATION MODE
Your scanner receives amplitude
modulated (AM) or narrow-band fre-
quency modulated (NFM) transmis-
sions and selects the mode most
commonly used in each frequency
range. However, you can manually
change the mode while the scanner is
searching for frequencies or scanning
channels. The selected mode flashes
if it is not the default.
To change the modulation mode,
press
MODE
until the desired modula-
tion mode (
AM
or
FM
) flashes on the
display.
To return to the default modulation
mode, press
MODE
until the mode no
longer flashes.
