How the EZ Scan-SD Works

Your EZ Scan-SD is designed with an easy-to-use simpliﬁed

keypad that includes controls that are similar to those used by

portable media players, including     navigation keys, a

MENU key, a SKIP key and a ▶/II/SEL key. The EZ Scan-SDʼs

uncluttered keypad gives you instant access to the functions that

you need most while using your scanner.

The EZ Scan-SD is designed to use high capacity SD Card

memory. The EZ Scan-SD uses SD Card memory to hold the

entire RadioReference database for the United States, giving you

the unprecedented ability to automatically program your scanner

anywhere without using an external software application and

without connecting to the Internet. We call this special version of

the RadioReference database “the Library”. The EZ Scan-SD

also uses SD Card memory to hold all of your conﬁguration data,

providing virtually unlimited storage space for your

conﬁgurations. Multiple copies of radio conﬁgurations can be

saved on the SD Card using GREʼs new Virtual Scanner II (VS-

II) storage and recall technology.

For more information about the RadioReference database,

please visit http://www.radioreference.com.

To use the EZ Scan-SD, you ﬁrst browse the Library to ﬁnd

things that you want to monitor. We call these things “scannable

objects”, or simply “objects”. As you ﬁnd objects in the Library

that you want to add to the collection of objects that your radio

will scan, you import them from the Library to the EZ Scan-SDʼs

Playlists, which are also stored on the SD Card. There are ﬁfty

regular Playlists in the EZ Scan-SD, and a special “Skywarn”

Playlist where you can store objects that you want to monitor

during times of severe weather, such as amateur radio repeaters

and power company frequencies that you may wish to monitor

when severe weather is present.

Included with the EZ Scan-SD is a companion EZ Scan-SD PC

Application and USB interface cable that allow you to add your

own objects and edit the objects that are stored in the EZ Scan-

SDʼs Playlists.

The data contained in the EZ Scan-SDʼs Library is provided by

special arrangement with RadioReference and is Copyright
