Preprogrammed System Tips

All systems preprogrammed into the scanner are assigned to a Quick Key. See “Preprogrammed Systems with Quick Keys” on Page 146 for a list of preprogrammed systems and their Quick Key assignments.

Notes:

•The systems preprogrammed into the scanner are located primarily in major metropolitan areas.

•You might hear transmissions on frequencies assigned to very distant stations. This will happen if a local system also uses the same frequency.

•The Nationwide system assigned to SQK 20 is enabled by default.

Selecting Systems to Scan

To select systems to scan, press Scan then press the quick key assigned to the system or systems you want to scan. For quick keys [0] - [9], press the quick key’s number. For quick keys 10-99, press [.No] then press the quick key’s 2-digit number. To stop scanning the system(s), press [.No] (if the quick key is a 2-digit quick key) then the number button or buttons again.

The Sx: (system) indicators on the display show the systems that are currently selected.

To select or lock out a system that is not assigned to a key, press Func then rotate the Scroll Control until the desired system is selected. Then, press [L/O] within 2 seconds to either lock out or unlock the system.

Selecting System Channel Groups

Within a system, you can assign groups of channels to a group quick key (see “Setting the Group Quick Key” on Page XX).

Follow these steps to activate or deactivate a channel group within a system while scanning.

1.Press [HOLD/RESUME] to hold on the system or tap then turn the Scroll Control to select the system.

2.While still appears on the display, press the number key corresponding to the channel group you want to activate or deactivate.
