you want to create one. There are only a few essential
parameters in the CONV object fields that must be set correctly
for a CONV object to work. The Frequency must be set to match
the frequency of the transmitter you want to scan or monitor, and
the MODE should be set to AU, or, if desired, AM, FM or NFM.
Note that the scanner will automatically select the default mode
based on the frequency you enter when MODE is set for AUto. In
most cases it will not be necessary to change this.
We also recommend that you label your CONV object by giving it
a name in the TAG field. This will make it easier for you to find
the CONV object later, and identify it when the scanner stops to
monitor activity. Enter your CONV object by following these
steps.
As we mentioned above, a brand new radio will launch into
Program Mode when it is first turned on, which allows for
creation and editing of Scannable Objects. If this is the first time
you have turned on your radio, you should see these softkey
labels at the bottom of your screen:

Now, take a moment and study the display. You will notice that
the ▼ icon is active. Its purpose is to indicate that you are at the
very top position of the menu for a conventional channel object,
and there are more parameters that can be accessed if you scroll
down. We also see three new softkeys:
