any time. If, for example, you are searching the range 230 to 240 MHz in AM
mode and want to see if there is any activity in FM mode, just press the FM
mode key. The mode will switch and be recorded into the search bank param-
eters.

parameters. While searching, press INC, a new increment value, ENT,
