Follow these steps to store frequencies into channels.
1. Press
PGM, then PGM appears. Enter the channel number (1–200) where you want to
store a frequency, then press
PGM again.
2. Use the number keys and • to enter the frequency (including the decimal point) you want
to store.
3. Press ENT to store the frequency into the channel.
Notes:
• If you made a mistake in Step 2,
Error
appears and the scanner beeps three times when
you press
ENT. Simply 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,
and
–dUPL–
then the frequency flashes. If you want to store the frequency anyway, press
ENT again. Press TUNE/CLEAR to clear the frequency.
• Press DELAY if you want the scanner to pause 2 seconds on this channel before it
proceeds to the next channel after a transmission ends (see “Delay” on Page 24). The
scanner also stores this setting in the channel.
4. To program the next channel in sequence, press PGM and repeat Steps 2 and 3.
FINDING AND STORING ACTIVE FREQUENCIES
Searching the One Touch Banks
Your scanner contains groups of preset frequencies called One Touch banks. Each one
touch bank is associated with a specific activity (see “One Touch Banks” on Page 14). You
can search for marine, fire/police, air, ham, and weather transmissions even if you do not
know the specific frequencies that are used in your area. Then you can store the
frequencies you found into the scanner’s channels (except weather and marine banks).
Notes:
• You can use the scanner’s delay feature while searching the banks, see “Delay” on Page
24.
• To listen to the marine bank, see “Listening to the Marine Bank” on Page 22.
• To listen to the weather bank, see “Listening to the Weather Band” on Page 22.
