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

•To ensure the scanner operates properly while in the trunking mode, we suggest you set SQUELCH using the above steps, even if the scanner is automatically muted.

STORING KNOWN FREQUENCIES INTO CHANNELS

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