General Programming

This section includes procedures that apply regardless of whether you are programming conventional or trunked channels.

Deleting Frequencies from Channels

To delete a stored frequency, manually select the channel, then press 0 and E. The contents of the channel are erased.

Transferring Channel Information

To transfer settings from one channel to another:

1.Manually select the channel with the information you want to transfer.

2.Press TRNFR. The scanner displays the lowest-numbered empty channel. To select a different channel, use the scroll bar to select the channel.

3.Press E. All channel information is stored in the target channel and deleted from the original channel.

Note: Trunking system information is not transferred.

Entering Alpha Information

Your BC796D lets you assign text tags to banks, channels, talkgroups, and search ranges. Follow these steps to enter a text tag.

1.Use the scroll bar to select the letter.

2.Press /HOLD to advance to the next letter or LIMIT/to back up to a previous letter.

3.When you have completed the text tag, press E to accept the entry.

General Programming Tips

Do not program weather frequencies into channels. Since they have continuous broad- casts, your scanner will always stop on them. Use weather service search to access NOAA weather broadcasts.

Group related services into a bank. For example, program city trunk system in Bank 1, amateur radio in Bank 2, and so on.

To quickly program a series of channels, start with the lowest-numbered channel. The scanner automatically advances to the next channel by default when you complete pro- gramming a channel.

Make a programming plan before you sit down to program your scanner. Write down what frequency you will store in each channel, along with other system information. Or, use the supplied software to organize your information before you start. Keep a record of what you programmed in case you lose programming. This lets you more quickly program the scan- ner the next time.
