Storing Text Tags | Radio Shack PRO-92 instruction

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.

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

•Press FUNC then DELAY/1 to turn the delay func- tion on or off. To have the scanner pause for 2 seconds on this channel after a transmission before proceeding to the next active transmis- sion, see “Using the Delay Function” on Page 40. The scanner stores this setting in the channel.

•If you are storing frequencies for an EDACS sys- tem, you must store them in logical channel num- ber order, with the first frequency in channel 1 for the current bank.

5.If necessary, press MODE to change the receiving mode. If you select P/L or DPL, enter the PL or DPL code by pressing STEP (to move up through the codes) or FUNC then STEP (to move down through the codes).

6.If desired, program a text tag for the channel (see “Assigning a Text Tag to a Channel”).

7.The next channel in sequence is ready for program- ming. Press PGM and then repeat Steps 3 through 5.

STORING TEXT TAGS

You can customize your scanner by storing text tags (up to 12 characters) for easy identification of channel trans- missions, trunk IDs, or banks.

Assigning a Text Tag to a Channel

1.Press MANUAL, enter the channel number where you want to enter the text, then press MANUAL again. M and the channel number appear at the upper left corner of the display (for example: M100).
