Hints:

• Each channel name can be up to 16 characters.

Abbreviate as necessary to fit.

• The channel name appears on the second line of the

display when the scanner stops on a channel.

• If you do not enter a channel name, the scanner

displays the frequency (for conventional systems) or

the talk group ID (for trunked systems) when it stops

on a channel.

• Press twice to delete the current character.

• Press three times to clear the entire alpha tag.

• Channel names take up extra memory. To maximize

channels, use channel names only where necessary.
