Programming Tips for scanner

Program one frequency per channel.

Channel 1 is the location of the default priority channel. Program the most important frequency, or the one of major interest, into Channel 1. You may also select any other channel to be the priority channel.

To quickly program a series of channels, start with the lowest number channel. For example, when you are programming five new frequencies into Channels 4 through 8, start with Channel 4. After you complete the programming in one channel (by pressing E), press MANUAL to step up to the next channel.

Channels are grouped by banks for easy scanning control. The channels associated with

 

the banks are as follows:

Bank Number

Channel Number

 

1

1 through 20

 

2

21 through 40

 

3

41 through 60

 

4

61 through 80

 

5

81 through 100

If you make an error during programming, or the frequency is out of range,

appears on the display.

If you program the same frequency in two channels, the display will indicate the channel with the duplicate frequency. If you want to have two of the same frequencies on different channels, accept the entry by pressing E again.

During numeric entry, if you know that you pressed the wrong number,

press . (decimal point) until the entry is cancelled out. When the previous frequency is displayed, you may re-enter the frequency.

Above 406MHz, the frequency steps are in 12.5kHz increments. To enter a frequency such as 450.4875, press each of the seven digits in sequence.
