Beyond the Basics

2.Press PGM. M changes to P.

3.Use the number keys and ./DELAY to enter the frequency (including the decimal point) you want to store.

If you make a mistake, press CL to delete a single digit or press and hold CL about 2 seconds to delete all digits.

4.Press ENT to store the frequency into the channel.

Notes If you made a mistake in Step 3, Invalid Freq. brieﬂy appears and the scanner beeps when you press ENT. Start

again from Step 3.

Your scanner automatically rounds the entered frequency to the nearest valid frequency. For example, if you enter a frequency of 151.553, your scanner accepts it as 151.550.

All scanners tune by steps. Your RadioShack scanner uses steps consistent with the latest US or worldwide standards. If you enter a non-valid step frequency, any scanner will tune to the next step. Some scanner designs do this without showing the correct step in the display. This scanner will show the actual tuned frequency in the display. Because steps are so close together, the audio quality will not be affected by the offset.

After a transmission, the scanner automatically pauses for 2 seconds on this channel before proceeding to the next active transmission. Press ./DELAY to turn the delay function off or on. See “Using Delay”. The scanner stores this setting in the channel.

5.If necessary, press MODE to change the receiving mode.

6.If desired, program a text tag for the channel (see “Assigning a Text Tag to a Channel”).

7.The next channel in sequence is ready for programming. Press PGM then repeat steps 3 through 6.
