Preprogrammed System Tips

All systems preprogrammed into the scanner are assigned to a Quick Key. See “Preprogrammed Systems with Quick Keys” on Page 140 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.
