MANUALLY STORING FREQUENCIES IN CHANNELS

You can manually store up to 100 fre- quencies into your scanner’s chan- nels. Radio Shack sells some good references for active frequencies, such as “Police Call Radio Guide In- cluding Fire and Emergency Servic- es,” “Official Maritime Frequency Directory” and “Official Aeronautical Frequency Directory.”

Radio Shack updates these directo- ries every year, so be sure to get a current copy. If you do not have a ref- erence to frequencies in your area, you can use a limit or direct search to find a transmission.

Follow these steps to manually store frequencies.

1.Press MANUAL to stop the scan- ning.

2.Enter the channel number where you want to store a frequency.

20

3.Press PGM. 000.0000MHz PROGRAM, BANK, the bank number and the selected chan- nel number appear on the dis- play.

4.Enter the frequency you want to store, including the decimal point.

Notes:

•Frequencies are separated from each other in the follow- ing steps:

Frequencies	Steps

29.0-108.0 MHz	5 kHz
108-136.975 MHz	12.5 kHz

137.0-300.0 MHz	5 kHz
300-3000 MHz	12.5 kHz

•When you enter a frequency, the scanner automatically rounds it to the nearest valid number. For example, if you enter the frequency 151.473, your scanner rounds it up to 151.475.
