Searching for Active Frequencies
Many people enjoy searching for the unknown frequencies that are in use
in their area but are not posted to any site or in any publication. The
BC340CRS has two ways to search: Limit searching that searches
between two set frequencies and Service Searching that searches for
specific types of agencies based on the FCC’s standard frequency
allocation for such services.
Using Limit Search
Programming an Upper/Lower Limit
Follow these steps to program an Upper and Lower limit for the limit
search:
1. Press SEARCH then HOLD. The scanner holds on the current search
frequency.
2. Enter one of the range limits, then press E/PGM.
Press ▲ or ▼ then enter the other range limit , and press E/PGM.
Searching the Selected Range
After entering the limits (or use the default limits), press SEARCH. The
scanner starts searching from the lower range up to the higher range.
To change the direction of the search, press ▲ or ▼.
Using Service Search
You can select any of Police, Fire/EMS, Aircraft, Ham, and Marine
channels for active frequencies in your area.
Selecting a Service to Search
Press SVC to enter the service search mode, then press the button
corresponding to the service you want to search. When the scanner
stops on a transmission, you can force it to resume searching by pressing
▲ or ▼.
