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

objects to scan:

• Start small and expand

• Organize conventional frequencies and talkgroups

• Remove unwanted channels and talkgroups

What is Object Oriented Scanning?

Historically, programming scanning receivers was

challenging, but object-oriented programming

simplifies the process by using common conventions for

scanning concepts.

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.
