MANUALLY STORING FREQUENCIES
You can manually store a frequency into each of the 20 channels. Radio
Shack sells some good references for active frequencies, such as "Police
Call Radio Guide Including Fire and Emergency Services," "Official
Maritime Frequency Directory" and "Official Aeronautical Frequency
Directory,"
Radio Shack updates these directories every year, so be sure to get a
current copy.
Follow these steps to manually store frequencies.
1. While the scanner is stopped, enter the channel number where you want
to store a frequency, then press MANUAL. The desired channel number
appears on the display.
2. Enter the desired frequency, including the decimal point.
NOTES: The decimal point appears as a dash (-) on the display.
To confirm the frequency you entered before you store it,
press REVIEW. The frequency appears on the display, one digit
at a time, then the selected channel number reappears.
