Programming Frequencies

For the Police, Fire/EMS, or Private bank, you can store your favorite frequencies into the channels of each bank, one fre- quency per channel.

You can program any displayed frequency on the screen.

If you do not know any local frequencies you can search for an active frequency by scanning any service bank or searching any selected band. Then, when you find a desired frequency, program that frequency to the bank.

You can also program a non-active frequency through the search mode.

You cannot program a frequency into Air, MRN, CB, or WX.

Note:

It is recommended that you do not program a Weather frequency into the Private bank.

In order to program the Private channels in your scanner you must obtain the frequencies of the agencies (Police, Fire, EMS, etc.) you want to monitor. Information on how to obtain these frequencies can be found "Where to Obtain More Information" on page 5.
