SDS200 Quick Display-Off?

[N4SRN]

I found that pressing the Power knob multiple times cycles through display L/M/H/Off. But when off, the display keeps coming on periodically, presumably on a channel hit. Is there a way to run audio on w/o any display via a quick-key sort of method?

Read here about Backlight Options.

Thanks. I might be misunderstanding “backlight” on the SDS200. When Off, is there essentially no visible text? Or is there a separate text intensity setting?

Again, refer to answer to your previous question… “Set Dimmer”.

Reading the manual and quick help manual are all part of the experience with these scanners. Experiment with different settings and see what the results are. It’s important to become familiar with BOTH the manuals AND the scanner! After exploring, if there is a question or confusion, post it here.

Hint: Focus on the squelch backlight setting.
