INTRODUC

Introduction
Scanning technology
has changed dramatically
over
the
years. The WS1095 / WS1098 scanner
with
Object
Oriented
User Interface is designed
to help the
hobbyist
build a
collection
of
channels
to scan:
Start small and
expand
Organize channels and
talkgroups
Remove unwanted channels and
talkgroups
What
is
Object Oriented
S
c
anning?
Programming scanning receivers can
be challenging,
but
object-oriented programming simplifies
the
process
by
using common conventions
for scanning
concepts
that
have common
characteristics.
A
Scannable
Object
is any defined
item that
can
be
scanned
or
monitored,
including:
Conventional, non-trunked radio
frequencies
Talkgroups used
on
a trunked radio
system
Radio
services
Defined
searches
Because scannable objects are defined
by the same
basic elements,
the
Object
Oriented
User
Interface
(OOUI) is designed
to
simplify scanning
by managing
all scannable objects similarly. When you learn
how
to
program one
type of
object, you can program
other
types
of
scannable objects as
well.
