Programming Your RE3000
Programming:
Use this menu option to automatically or manually program, read and delete
channels. Channels can be programmed into the radio by using the methods listed below.
Over The Air:
Before performing this function, scanner and transmitter must be set to the same frequency. Scanner is
then ready to receive OVER THE AIR data from the transmitter, downloading it and automatically
programming the scanner. This is the preferred and fastest method of updating the scanner with the latest
track/driver frequencies, names, codes and channel numbers. Select DONE when the display shows
COMPLETE.
Keypad Entry:
Use the Numeric Key Pad to enter the following information:
Channel Number: Enter car number.
Frequency: Enter a valid frequency by using the Up or Down Navigation Pad. (450-469.9875)
CTCSS/DCS Code: This code is essential for monitoring track/driver channels. CTCSS and DCS Codes are
sub-audio signaling formats designed to prevent interference from other broadcasting stations sharing the
same frequency. When using CTCSS or DCS codes the scanner will only respond to transmissions carrying
the tone. Therefore you only hear the race team's transmissions. Up/Down/Left/Right (Navigation Pad)
4-Way Key can adjust CTCSS/DCS code. Left Key can turn CTCSS Code off and UP Key can increase CTCSS
Code number. Right Key can set DCS Code to first one and UP Key can increase DCS Code number.
Alpha Label: Used to name the channel. This field can be a letter or number. Use the Numeric Key Pad to
enter letter/number in the display. Using Navigation Pad to edit channel's name, UP or DOWN Key can
switch between ABC, abc, or 123, LEFT or RIGHT Key can move cursor, LEFT Key can delete entry, and
NEXT Key can jump to next channel for programming.
