Good references for active frequencies are the RadioShack
Police Call Guide including Fire and Emergency Services,
Official Aeronautical Frequency Directory, and Maritime
Frequency Directory. We update these directories every
year, so be sure to purchase a current copy.
Follow these steps to store frequencies into channels.
1. Press PGM .
F=C
appears. Then enter the channel
number (1-200) where you want to store a frequency,
then press
PGM again.
2. Use the number keys and ´ to enter the frequency
(including the decimal point) you want to store.
3. Press ENT to store the frequency into the channel. ±
Press DELAY/ ´ if you want the scanner to pause 2
seconds on this channel before it proceeds to the next
channel after a transmission ends (see “Delay” on
Page 20). The scanner also stores this setting in the
channel.

Operation
• To listen to a weak or distant
station, turn SQUELCH
counterclockwise. If reception is
poor, turn SQUELCH clockwise
to cut out weak transmissions.
• If SQUELCH is adjusted so you
always hear a hissing sound,
the scanner will not scan or
search properly.
Storing Known Frequencies
into Channels
• If you made a mistake in Step 2,
;hheh ;hheh ;hheh ;hheh
appears and the scanner
beeps three times when you
press ENT. Simply start again
from Step 2.
• Your scanner automatically
rounds the entered frequency
down to the closest valid
frequency. For example, if you
enter a frequency of 151.473,
your scanner accepts it as
151.470.
• If you entered a frequency that
is already stored in another
channel, the scanner beeps
three times while displaying the
lowest channel number and
#ZKFB #ZKFB #ZKFB #ZKFB
- where the frequency is
already stored. Then the fre-
quency you entered flashes on
the display. To store the
frequency anyway, press ENT
again. Press TUNE/CLEAR to
clear the frequency.
