You can use on-air programming
to store the following data into the
scanner:

• Channel number (from 000 to

949)

• Frequency (any frequency the

scanner can receive)

• Car number (from 0 to 999,

including 00, 000, 01, and
001)

• Channel text tag

• Channel lockout setting (ON

or OFF)

• Channel delay setting (ON or

OFF)

• CTCSS code (67 Hz – 250.3

Hz)

• CTCSS setting (ON or OFF)
