STORING FREQUENCIES

Storing Found Frequencies

You can save frequencies in channel-storage banks.
1. Press ENT when you find a
frequency. The bank number
and StorE appear.
2. To change banks, enter the
new bank number.
3. Press ENT. The channel and
frequency flash twice. To
cancel the operation, press
TUNE/CLEAR.
• The frequency is
automatically stored in the
first empty channel of the selected bank.
• If the scanner displays -dUPL-, the frequency is
already stored in another channel. Press ENT to
continue. Press TUNE/CLEAR to cancel.
• If there are no empty channels in the bank, Ch-FULL
appears. Clear a channel or select another bank
(see "Clearing a Stored Channel" on page 21).
• If the scanner displays -dUPL- or CH-FULL, you can
store another channel location by pressing PGM.
The channel number flashes and 000.0000 (or
previous frequency) appears. Press the desired
channel number then press ENT. Repeat if needed.
Press ENT again when an empty channel is found.

Birdie Frequencies

All scanners have birdie frequencies, which are signals
created inside a scanner that can cause interference.
To find the birdies in your scanner:
1. Disconnect the antenna, and make sure that no
other nearby radio or TV sets are turned on near
the scanner.
2. Search every frequency range from its lowest
frequency to the highest. Occasionally, the
searching will stop as if it has found a signal,
often without any sound. This is a birdie.
3. Make a list of all the birdies in your scanner for
future reference.
