2. Program the system based on the plan.
Enclosed with the materials provided with your scanner is a reprinted article from
Popular Communications, which, in clear, easy-to-understand language, tells you
how to start the programming session. The article also includes a glossary of
terms and other valuable data. Be sure to take time out to look it over before
proceeding.
To provide you with useful sized worksheets and instructions to complete them, we
have established links at our company website. Visit, http://www.uniden.com/scanners
to see a list of helpful forms. But first, visit http://www.radioreference.com and locate
the system nearest your location that you want to scan. If you register and pay a small
fee, you can download a ready-to-use formatted PDF complete with the data from your
selected system. Otherwise, you can print the blank worksheet on our web page as
you would any other web based page.
The programming data of a large metropolitan area may consist of many pages
depending on how extensive the area’s Public Service System Talkgroups are.
Don’t be overwhelmed. Begin by choosing the Talkgroups of interest to you. Begin
on page XX and follow the steps to transfer the data from the Radio Reference
sheets to the appropriate work sheet, finally programming the data into the
scanner.
You can visit one of the Radio Reference forums and potentially learn of someone
in your immediate area who has programmed the same model scanner in your
area. Then, by using the Clone feature or by exchanging files that you each have
transferred to a computer using the Uniden Advanced Scanner Director (UASD)
software you can install the programmed data into your scanner. Once you have
either programmed or selected the option that lets you start experiencing
scanning, spend the next few minutes learning the basics of trunk tracking for an
even more complete listening appreciation.
After you read the following material, you should have a more comfortable
approach to the text on pages XX through XX in your Owner’s Manual.
