Hello:

Have a new 996, but imagine other scanners have this feature also.

Regarding "Data Skip", where the scanner will automatically
skip channels that it identifies as a data stream, or noise, rather than
voice.

e.g., channels with either no audio, or possibly a constant level audio.

Seems to me there is no reason not to have it on all of the time, for all
Systems, and everything.

Are there any Systems, modes, situations, etc. where having it Enabled
would not be a good idea ?

The Default setting is, surprisingly, OFF, which I guess implies having it
on for
everything maybe isn't such a great idea ?

Thanks,
B.
