Defining a Channel
Go to www.radioreference.com for the latest frequency references.
To dene a channel:
1. Press MAN.
2. Enter the bank (0-9) and channel number (00-99) where you want
to store the frequency (Example: 101 for Bank 1, Channel 1).
3. Press MAN again. M and the bank and channel number appear.
4. Press PROG. M changes to P.
5. Use the number keys to enter the frequency (including the
decimal point). If you make a mistake, press CL to delete a single
digit or hold CL about 2 seconds to start over.
Your scanner automatically rounds to the nearest valid
frequency. For example, if you enter 151.553, your scanner
rounds to 151.550.
