I'm thinking you would use the rating when you're using it as a scanner. The
last line of the description says, "The device can also be programmed to
sweep transmission bands for other tracking signals" (SR3 pg 291). Doesn't
specify any rules for this, but I'd use the ones provided for Scanners,
bottom of pg 298.
