I have a new WS-1065, and maybe someone can set me straight on the search feature.

Pg-35 of the manual speaks to the Limit Search. I've set in 30.005 to 39.995 as my upper and lower. Should I assume when the WS-1065 is scanning, it's doing so in 1 kHz increments? (ie: 30.005, 30.006, 30.007). Or is there a different resolution? I ask only because it's scanning fast and I can't tell what the resolution is.

The second question pertains to "birdies" or frequencies with noise on them.

When searching and coming upon noise, (internal to the WS-1065, or something nearby), is the standard practice to removing that frequency from the scan by pressing the FrL/O button? Or is there a better way to skip over a known frequency with just noise?

I'm trying to scan just Low Band to see if there are any area, or regional users still active. I later want to get BuTel to keep the search going while I'm at work.

Default step chart is here which states 10khz for the range you inquired about. Though there looks to be something called Flexstep which allows you to customize the step size down to any 1250 Hz step...

Thanks, John.

Any thoughts to how to handle birdies or interference, and lock it out if one is doing a scan on 30.005 to 39.995 MHz. I assume the only recourse is to press "lockout" each time you encounter a carrier?
