Searching for Active Frequencies
Many people enjoy searching for the unknown...frequencies that are in use in their area but are not posted to any site or in any publication. The BC370CRS has two ways to search: Limit searching that searches between two set frequencies and Service Searching that searches for specific types of agencies based on the FCC’s standard frequency allocation for such services.
Using Limit Search
Programming an Upper/Lower Limit
Follow these steps to program an Upper and Lower limit for the limit search:
1.Press SRCH soft key then HOLD. The scanner holds on the current search frequency.
2.Enter one of the range limits, then press E/PGM.
Press ▲ or ▼, then enter the other range limit and press E/PGM.
Searching the Selected Range
After entering the limits (or use the default limits), press SRCH soft key. The scanner starts searching from the lower range up to the higher range. To change the direction of the search, press ▲ or ▼.
Using Service Search
You can select any of Police, Fire/EMS, Aircraft Ham, and Marine channels for active frequencies in your area.
Selecting a Service to Search
