Introduction

Scanning technology has changed dramatically

over the years. The Pro-651 scanner with Object

Oriented User Interface is designed to help 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 Scanning?

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.
