Storing A Car Number And Frequency - Radio Shack PRO-99 Owner's Manual

crews and corner watchers, pace car drivers, security officers, emergency personnel, track officials, and
representatives of governing organizations such as NASCAR, SCCA, and NHRA all use radios to
communicate with each other during a race. You might also hear transmissions from the news media and
reporters, local police departments, and paramedics and doctors at the local hospital. You can even listen to
transmissions by parking lot employees at the track, so you can find the best possible parking place when you
arrive.
You can store a car number and frequency in each of the scanner's channels, associate one or more
frequencies stored in channels with a car number, and recall any frequencies associated with that car number
by simply entering the number. You can store one car number and frequency, or one frequency by itself, in
each channel (for up to 500 car numbers and frequencies).
For example, if you want to listen to communications between the driver of car number 24 and that driver's pit
crew, you find all the frequencies used by the driver's team by using any of the following options:
. the steps in "Searching the Service Banks" on Page XX
. "Using Tune" on Page XX
. frequencies you already know
Then, you store a car number and the frequencies associated with that car number in the scanner's channels
and display the car number as you scan those frequencies by using the information in "Scanning by Car
Number" on Page XX.

STORING A CAR NUMBER AND FREQUENCY

You can store a car number and frequency in each of the scanner's channels, and you can recall any
frequencies associated with the car number by entering the number. You can store one car number in each
channel (for up to 500 car numbers).
Notes:
. After you store a car number and a frequency, you can store additional frequencies then associate those
frequencies with the same car number. See "Adding Frequencies to a Car Number."
. If you add one or more leading zeros to a single digit car number, your scanner recognizes them as different
car numbers. For example, you can enter 5 for one car number, 05 for another car number, and 005 for
another car number.
. To clear the display (if you make a mistake), press ./CLEAR before you press ENT.
1. Press and hold FUNC for about 2 seconds. Then press 2 and 1. Input Car#? appears.
2. Enter the car number. If the number is one or two digits, enter the number then press ENT. If the number is
three digits, enter the number only. The car number, channel number, and frequency appears.
