UNDERSTANDING YOUR SCANNER
A LOOK AT THE KEYBOARD
A quick glance at this section should
help you understand each key's func¬
tion.
PRIORITY — sets and turns on and off
priority for a particular channel.
MODE — changes the band mode (AM,
NFM, or WFM).
STEP — changes the frequency step (5,
12.5, or 50 kHz).
RESET — resets the default band mode
and frequency step.
DIRECT — starts a direct frequency
search.
L/OUT — lets you lock out selected
channels or frequencies.
L/O RVW — lets you review locked-out
channels or frequencies.
DELAY — programs a 2-second delay
for the selected mode.
Number Keys — each key has a single¬
digit label and a range of numbers. Use
the digits on the keys to enter the num¬
bers for a channel or a frequency. Use
the range of numbers above the key
(201-300, for example) to select the
channels in a channel-storage bank.
See "Understanding Banks/Memories"
on Page 17.

preprogrammed weather channels. The
