7 430-440 70-cm Amateur Radio
8 440-450 UHF
9 450-470 UHF
You can search these bands to quickly find active frequencies you might want to store into the
scanner’s channels. For example, if you wanted to search for transmissions between amateur radio
operators, you could search only the search bands where you are most likely to hear the transmissions
(Bands 4, and 7).
Note: The frequencies in the scanner’s search bands are preset. You cannot change them.
Monitor Memory
The scanner also has a monitor memory that you can use to temporarily store a frequency while you
decide whether to save it into a channel. This is handy for quickly storing an active frequency when you
are searching through an entire band using direct search. See “Direct Search”.
OPERATION
TURNING ON THE SCANNER/SETTING VOLUME AND SQUELCH
Note: Make sure the scanner’s antenna is connected before you turn it on.
1. Turn SQUELCH fully counterclockwise.
2. Turn VOLUME clockwise until it clicks and you hear a hissing sound.
3. Turn SQUELCH clockwise until the hissing sound stops.
Notes:
• If the scanner picks up unwanted, partial, or very weak transmissions, turn SQUELCH clockwise to
decrease the scanner’s sensitivity to these signals. If you want to listen to a weak or distant station,
turn SQUELCH counterclockwise.
• If SQUELCH is adjusted so you always hear a hissing sound, the scanner does not scan properly.
• If you have not stored frequencies into any channels, the scanner does not scan.
STORING ACTIVE FREQUENCIES
You can manually store frequencies you already know into the scanner’s channels. You can also store
frequencies you found using band search directly into channels. You can also store a frequency into a
monitor memory then store it into a channel.
If you do not have a reference to frequencies in your area, follow the steps in “Band Search” or “Direct
Search” to search for transmissions.
Manually Storing Frequencies
If you know a frequency you want to store, you can store it manually.
1. Press PGM. PGM appears.
2. Use the number keys to enter the channel number where you want to store the frequency (1-50),
then press PGM again. Or, repeatedly press PGM until the desired channel number appears.
3. Use the number keys and DLY/. to enter the frequency (including the decimal point) you want to store
into that channel.
4. Press E to store the frequency.
