"Data Skip" Featu Enable It All Of The Time For Everything ?
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. |

It's better to cross-post to multiple groups than it is to single post in each... Multiposting creates only ONE message, readable in all listed groups. Single posting creates the exact number or messages as the number of groups you post in. Saves time and space by cross-posting... |

The dataskip function will many times see data or noise where there isn't any such as on a channel with a PL or CTCSS tone or background noise. When that happens, it begins scanning again right in the middle of the transmission and you will miss some of it. -- Martin McCormick WB5AGZ Stillwater, OK Information Technology Department Network Operations Group |
