Good references for active frequencies are the RadioShack Police Call Guide including Fire and Emergency Services, Official Aeronautical Frequency Directory, and Maritime Frequency Directory. We update these directories every year, so be sure to purchase a current copy.

Follow these steps to store frequencies into channels.

1.Press PGM. F=C appears. Then enter the channel number (1-200) where you want to store a frequency, then press PGM again.

2.Use the number keys and ´ to enter the frequency (including the decimal point) you want to store.

3.Press ENT to store the frequency into the channel. ±

Press DELAY/´ if you want the scanner to pause 2 seconds on this channel before it proceeds to the next channel after a transmission ends (see “Delay” on Page 20). The scanner also stores this setting in the channel.

Operation

•To listen to a weak or distant station, turn SQUELCH counterclockwise. If reception is poor, turn SQUELCH clockwise to cut out weak transmissions.

•If SQUELCH is adjusted so you always hear a hissing sound, the scanner will not scan or search properly.

Storing Known Frequencies into Channels

•If you made a mistake in Step 2, ;hheh appears and the scanner beeps three times when you press ENT. Simply start again from Step 2.

•Your scanner automatically rounds the entered frequency down to the closest valid frequency. For example, if you enter a frequency of 151.473, your scanner accepts it as 151.470.

•If you entered a frequency that is already stored in another channel, the scanner beeps three times while displaying the

lowest channel number and #ZKFB- where the frequency is already stored. Then the fre- quency you entered flashes on the display. To store the frequency anyway, press ENT again. Press TUNE/CLEAR to clear the frequency.
