manual thoroughly so that you
may fully understand the
advanced features and
capabilities of your PRO-96
scanning receiver.
Once you understand a few simple
terms used in this manual and
familiarize yourself with your
scanner's features, you can put
the scanner to work for you. You
simply determine which
frequencies and trunking systems
you want to receive, and then
program the scanner to scan
them.
A frequency is the receiving signal
location (expressed in MHz). To
find active frequencies, you can
use frequency guides available
from your local RadioShack store,
frequency listings posted on the
Internet, or the built in search
function.
Your scanner’s SEARCH banks
contained preprogrammed
frequencies in the scanner’s
memory (see “Searching a
Preprogrammed Frequency
Range” on Page 52 for the
frequency list). You can even
change the frequency range on
one of the SEARCH banks (SR6)
to customize your own search
parameters.
Once you identify the frequencies
youwishtomonitor,youcanstore
them into programmable memory
locations called channels, which
are grouped in channel storage
banks. You can then scan the
channel-storage banks to see if
there is activity on the frequencies
