Notes:

Your scanner searches at the preset frequency step rate (5 or 12.5 kHz) for each frequency. You cannot change the frequency step rate.

The scanner displays the nearest 1 kHz step. For example, if you tune to 406.1125, the scanner displays 406.112.

While searching through a frequency band, you might hear a frequency you want to store. You can store any frequency into a monitor memory.

You cannot change or delete any of the frequencies in the frequency bands.
