Introduction

Scanning technology has changed dramatically over the

years. A 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 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.
