Storing Highway Patrol Frequencies

You can quickly store any frequency you find during scanning. When in Hold mode or the scanner stops on the frequency you want to store, you can store the frequency. For detail see page 21.

Skip Frequencies

To skip a frequency, press L/O.

You can program up to 50 skip frequencies for priority channels. And also you can program up to 100 skip frequencies for other frequencies (See page 27). If you skip a preprogrammed frequency in one state and that frequency is programmed into another state, the frequency is skipped of both states. If you change the state code, skipped frequencies are cancelled as soon as scanning starts.

Priority Channels

Each state preprogrammed in the scanner contains a number of Priority channels. The scanner automatically checks a state’s Priority channels every two seconds for activity. If there is activity on one of the Priority channels, the ALERT Light will flash and the alarm tone will beep (see “Highway Warning Alert,” page 17).
