I allow a 30 setting for The important ChAnnels and for routiNe calls 10.

Has Anyone else ExperImentEd?

You can use it however you want, but holding 30 seconds on a transmission seems to be a LONG time. But whatever works best for you is great. I don't use any delay since every system I monitor already has a delay on their transmissions.

30 on like tac/air support traffic -

With so many channels,I was missing parts of the transmissions

On the recent PRO series the delay number is in tenths of a second so 30 would be 3 seconds.

(adjustable) delay

One of the features on my custom PRO-10 & PRO-77 scanners is adjustable delay. I typically use a delay of 2.9 seconds for all standard conventional channels. I added it because the "2 second delay" in Radio Shack scanners is barely 1 second in reality and I want to hear an entire conversation before scanning off to the next.

Using scanners like the PRO-97 or PRO-164 is very frustrating. I don't know how anyone can listen to stuff with Delay set to off. And with it on, 1 second is not enough before it scans off. With 1000 frequencies (not including the myriad of talkgroups), you're unlikely to ever hear a complete conversation.
