STORING KNOWN FREQUENCIES INTO
CHANNELS
Good references for active frequencies are the RadioShack
Po-
lice Call Guide including Fire and Emergency Services
,
Official
Aeronautical Frequency Directory
, and
Maritime Frequency Di-
rectory
. We update these directories every year, so be sure to
get a current copy.
Follow these steps to store frequencies into channels.
1. Press
MAN
, enter the channel number (1–200) where you
want to store a frequency, then press
PGM
. The channel
number appears.
2. Use the number keys and
to enter the frequency (including
the decimal point) you want to store.
3. Press
ENT
to store the frequency into the channel.
Notes:
If you made a mistake in Step 2,
Error
appears and the
scanner beeps when you press
ENT
. Simply start again
from Step 2.
Your scanner automatically rounds the entered frequency
down to the closest valid frequency. For example, if you
enter a frequency of 151.473, your scanner accepts it as
151.470.
If you entered a frequency that is already stored in
another channel, the scanner beeps three times and dis-
plays the lowest channel number where the frequency is
already stored, and
–dUPL–
then the frequency
flashes. If you want to store the frequency anyway, press
ENT
again. Press
MON/CL
to clear the frequency.
