STORING KNOWN FREQUENCIES INTO CHANNELS

Good references for active frequencies are the Ra- dioShack Police Call, Aeronautical Frequency Directory, and Maritime Frequency Directory. We update these di- rectories every year, so be sure to get a current copy. Also see the supplied Police Call Trunking Guide.

Follow these steps to store frequencies into channels.

1.Press MANUAL, enter the channel number where you want to store a frequency, then press MANUAL again. M and the channel number appears at the upper left corner on the display (for example: M100).

2.Press PGM. M changes to P on the display.

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

If you make a mistake, hold down CL for about 0.5 seconds to delete a single digit and about 1.5 sec- onds to delete all digits.

4.Press ENTER to store the frequency into the channel. The blinking cursor disappears.

Notes:

•If you made a mistake in Step 3, Invalid Freq briefly appears and the scanner beeps when you press ENTER. Start again from Step 3.
