MANUALLY STORING FREQUENCIES INTO CHANNELS

If you know a frequency you want to store, you can store it manually into a channel.

Good references for active frequen- cies are RadioShack’s “Police Call Radio Guide Including Fire and Emer- gency Services,” “Aeronautical Fre- quency Directory,” and “Maritime Frequency Directory.” We update these directories every year, so be sure to get a current copy. See also “Guide to the Action Bands” on Page 28 in this manual.

Note: If you do not have a reference to frequencies in your area, follow the steps in “Searching For and Tempo- rarily Storing Active Frequencies” on Page 19 to search for transmissions.

Follow these steps to manually store a frequency into a channel.

1.If the scanner is scanning, press

MANUAL.

2.Using the number keys, enter the channel number where you want to store a frequency.

3.Press PROGRAM. B and the bank number, the selected channel number and CH, PGM, L/O (if the selected channel number is empty), and 000.000 (or the previously programmed fre- quency) appear on the display.

CH

4.Using the number keys, enter the frequency you want to store into that channel, including the deci- mal point.

Note: Your scanner automatically rounds the entered frequency up to the closest valid frequency. For example, if you try to enter a fre- quency of 151.473, your scanner accepts it as 151.475.

5.Press E to store the frequency. If the channel was locked out, the lockout is removed.

Note: If you entered an invalid fre- quency in Step 4, the scanner dis- plays Error. Press CLEAR, then repeat Steps 4 and 5.

6.To program the next channel in sequence, repeat Steps 3–5. To program another channel (not in sequence), repeat Steps 2–5.
