Using Direct Search

•To pause the search while receiving a signal, press ▲ or ▼. To resume searching, hold down ▲ or ▼.

•To quickly move up or down through the frequencies, hold down ▲ or ▼. The scanner tunes through the frequencies until you release ▲ or ▼.

•If necessary, you can select search groups using the number keys.

3.When the scanner finds an active frequency, it stops searching and displays the frequency’s number. To store the displayed frequency in the lowest available channel, press PGM then ENT. The channel and frequency flash twice, and the scanner stores the displayed frequency. The scanner then continues to search for frequencies.

Notes:

•If there is no empty channel, Ch-FULLappears after you press PGM. To store more frequencies, you must clear some channels. See “Clearing a Stored Channel” on Page 34. To continue searching after Ch-FULLappears, hold down ▲ or ▼.

•If you entered a frequency that is already stored in another channel, -dUPL-(duplicate) and the lowest- numbered channel containing the duplicate frequency flash for about 3 seconds. If you want to store the fre- quency anyway, press ENT again. You can then delete the frequency later. See “Clearing a Stored Channel” on Page 34.

4.To store the displayed frequency in a monitor memory, press MON/CL. The monitor memory number, M, and the fre- quency flash twice.

5.To search for another active frequency in the selected band, hold down ▲ or ▼ for about 1 second. To select a different band and search for another active frequency, repeat Steps 2–4.

Using Direct Search

During a direct search, the scanner searches up or down, start- ing from a frequency you specify. Follow these steps to use di- rect search.
