Programming Channels
Before you can scan, you must program the channels within a
bank. You can store one frequency per channel, up to 400 channels.
Each time you store a frequency, the list of scanning frequencies in the bank is automatically sorted by frequency number. This unique Auto Sort feature enables faster scanning. When you manually step through a bank, however, frequencies are sorted according to channel number.
With the UBC 2500XL T, there are a number of ways to program a channel:
. Manually selecting a channel and frequency, using the numeric keypad
. Using the Rotary Tuner to select a channel and frequency
. Searching a band to find active frequencies, and then storing them into channels
. Using the Auto Store feature to automatically program channels
. Transfer a programmed frequency from another channel
Try each of the following programming methods, and then use the one that's right for you!
