So I am extremely new to this whole scanner thing, so please bear with me. I only got a scanner within the last 3 months... I'm still just learning how to properly program...
I'm not even sure what it is called, in reference to Scanners. So I am not sure what to look for in my settings and/or manuals. That being said: I am looking for a way to delay the return to scanning after a transmission has been detected.
For instance, if I hear a policeman say there is a wreck, I may, as a person who drives a lot, want to know where it is to avoid it. That being said, by the time I realize it's a wreck, I didn't hear where it is and it's already started scanning again... OR maybe it only caught the tail end of a transmission as it was scanning through.
Is there a way to "hold" a channel for say 2 to 5 seconds AFTER a transmission ends in case I want to Manually "Hold" or another officer/dispatcher comes on to confirm or something (which, in turn, adds the needed info)?
I currently have the BCD325P2 and use PROSCAN for programing.
Mahalo nui loa for any help given.
