Defining a Channel

Go to www.radioreference.com for the latest frequency references.

To define a channel:

1.Press MAN.

2.Enter the bank (0-9) and channel number (00-99) where you want to store the frequency (Example: 101 for Bank 1, Channel 1).

3.Press MAN again. M and the bank and channel number appear.

4.Press PROG. M changes to P.

5.Use the number keys to enter the frequency (including the decimal point). If you make a mistake, press CL to delete a single digit or hold CL about 2 seconds to start over.

Your scanner automatically rounds to the nearest valid frequency. For example, if you enter 151.553, your scanner rounds to 151.550.
