Programming Known Frequencies into Channels
1. Press PGM. PGM appears. Enter the channel number (1-200) where you want to store a
frequency, then press PGM again.

Notes:
• If you made a mistake entering the frequency, Error appears and the scanner beeps three times
when you press ENT. Start again from Step 2.
• Your scanner automatically rounds the entered frequency down to the closest valid frequency. For
example, if you enter a frequency of 151.473, your scanner accepts it as 151.470.
• If you entered a frequency that is already stored in another channel, the scanner beeps three times
and displays the lowest channel number where the frequency is already stored, while –dUPL–

TUNE/CLEAR to cancel.
• Press •/DELAY to set a two-second delay on this channel. The scanner stores this setting in the
channel.
If you do not have a list of frequencies in your area, use a Tune search or a Service Bank search to
find transmissions. Or refer to an online resource such as www.radioreference.com
