Good references for active frequencies are RadioShack’s Police Call, Aeronautical Frequency Directory, and
Maritime Frequency Directory. We update these directories every year, so be sure to get a current copy. Also
see the supplied Police Call Trunking Guide.

If you make a mistake, hold down CL for about 1 second to delete a single digit and about 2 seconds to

Notes:
• If you made a mistake in Step 3, Invalid Freq briefly appears and the scanner beeps when you press
ENTER. Starts again from Step 3.
• Your scanner automatically rounds the entered frequency to the nearest valid frequency. For example, if
you enter a frequency of 151.473, your scanner accepts it as 151.470.
• Press •/DELAY to turn the delay function on or off. To have the scanner pause for 2 seconds on this
channel after a transmission before proceeding to the next active transmission, see “Using the Delay
Function” on Page XX. The scanner stores this setting in the channel.
• If you are storing frequencies for an EDACS system, you must store them in logical channel number order,
with the first frequency in channel 1 for the current bank.
