Getting Started

First Time Startup

We believe that your new 0716 is so easy to use that
scannists with minimal experience in the hobby should be able to
get up and running in a matter of just a few minutes. If you

a talkgroup, or a search range and a Spectrum Sweeper, we

Menu Reference. Otherwise, please read on and allow us to help
you get acquainted to your new scanner!
