•Before you start to program your scanner, decide how you want to organize the frequencies you want to scan. For example, some areas are best organized by geographic location (east, north, south, west, central, etc), while others are best organized by agency (police, sheriff, ambulance, fire, etc.). You might even find it easier to organize a mixture of frequencies (north, southeast, and west for police but fire all in one group for example).
2.Organize the system information using these system worksheets included in this appendix.
•Use “Racing System Worksheet” on Page 93 to organize info about racing frequencies.
•Use “Conventional System Worksheet” on Page 95 to organize info about conventional frequencies.
3.Follow the instructions in “Filling Out The Racing Sys- tem Worksheet” on Page 92 and “Filling Out The Conventional System Worksheet” on Page 94 to pro- gram your scanner.
Tips:
•Before you start, make as many copies of the worksheets as you think you'll need. You can also go to the download section of http://www.uniden.com/productsupport.cfm and download the worksheets there.
•All worksheet instructions assume that you have completed the critical Step 1 (collecting the system information). Don't skip this step.
•Use a pencil to fill out the worksheets. This lets you change information if necessary.
