2. Program the system based on the plan.

Enclosed with the materials provided with your scanner is a reprinted article from Popular Communications, which, in clear, easy-to-understand language, tells you how to start the programming session. The article also includes a glossary of terms and other valuable data. Be sure to take time out to look it over before proceeding.

To provide you with useful sized worksheets and instructions to complete them, we have established links at our company website. Visit, http://www.uniden.com/scanners to see a list of helpful forms. But first, visit http://www.radioreference.com and locate the system nearest your location that you want to scan. If you register and pay a small fee, you can download a ready-to-use formatted PDF complete with the data from your selected system. Otherwise, you can print the blank worksheet on our web page as you would any other web based page.

The programming data of a large metropolitan area may consist of many pages depending on how extensive the area’s Public Service System Talkgroups are. Don’t be overwhelmed. Begin by choosing the Talkgroups of interest to you. Begin by transferring the data from the Radio Reference website to the worksheets you obtain from the Uniden website and from there, to the scanner.

You can visit one of the Radio Reference forums and potentially learn of someone in your immediate area who has programmed the same model scanner in your area. Then, by using the Clone feature or by exchanging files that you each have transferred to a computer using the Uniden Advanced Scanner Director (UASD) software you can install the programmed data into your scanner. Once you have either programmed or selected the option that lets you start experiencing scanning, spend the next few minutes learning the basics of trunk tracking for an even more complete listening appreciation.
