Light On In Tune Mode

[JRR4607]

How many of yall would like for the light to turn on only when it stops on a active Transmission?when it is in SRCH Mode and in TUNE Mode Then turn off. I know that it can when you set it for a ID, to trun On,Off or Flash but not in TUNE mode or in SRCH mode .

i think that would be nice.

If you do your search within a SRCH object, you can set th LCD to light up when a transmission is heard.

Yes the LCD light up when a transmission is heard. but what about at night time when looking for new freqs, and it stops on a transmission with out haveing to push the light on and off.

Read my last post carefully. You can search via a SRCH object rather than using SRCH mode. When searching using the object, the LCD can be programmed to light up automatically as a transmission is received.

I assume that you're concerned about being able to park the radio on the search and not have it simply scanned as an object. To accomplish this, put the radio in manual and scroll to your SRCH object. The F1 softkey will make the object begin searching over the range that you programmed.

I know that the LCD light comes on automatically when programmed to do so ( when transmision is recieved ). I'm not wanting for the LCD light to come on. I said LIGHT meaning back up LIGHT. There's no way for the back up LIGHT to come on automatically only when your in TUNE mode or SEARCH mode.

No, i'm not wanting to park the radio on search and not have it scanned as an object. What i'm doing is wanting to search for new FREQS either in SEARCH mode or TUNE mode, and if it's at night time and stops on transmision, it would be nice to have the back up light turned on and off so you can see the FREQS it stopped on without having to push the light button.

You're aware that you can create an "object" that reproduces any SEARCH or TUNE mode configuration, right? Then sit on that object in MAN mode (or even SCAN through several of them), getting your backlight/LED indications when something is found.

The only thing that TUNE mode does for you that a "SRCH object" won't is decoding of trunking control channels when found.

For example, if I wanted to look for new frequencies between 451.000 and 488.000 MHz, and get a "backlight alert" when the scanner found something, I'd:
PGM NEW SRCH LMIT
FrLo = 451.000
FrHi = 488.000
Backlight = On
(maybe change alpha tag, scan list membership, etc., but not required)
F1 (Save)
MAN
F1 (SRCH)

If this doesn't do what you want, why not?

Thank's did not know that works great.
