Introduction
Scanning technology has changed dramatically
over
the
years. The WS1080 / WS1088 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

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.
