The frequency currently selected and band are always displayed on the Air-Scan V's screen. 122.975 From the example above, the Air-Scan V is receiving 122.975 MHz. -
Page 14: Frequency Search
Frequency Search To manually search through the frequency range of any of the bands (AM, FM or Aviation), the Up key or Down key may be pressed at any time to select the next higher or lower frequency. This uses 10 kHz steps in the AM frequency range, 100 kHz steps in the FM frequency range and 8.33 kHz steps in the Aviation frequency range. -
Page 15: Frequency Memory
Frequency Memory The Air-Scan ® V has five memory channels on the Aviation band numbered 1 to 5 to store those aviation frequencies used most often and for use with the Aviation Interrupt ™ feature. NOTE: In Aviation Interrupt mode, memory channel 1 has priority over everything, including all other memory channels. -
Page 16: Memory Recall
Once the desired memory channel is selected, press the Memory key and the frequency will be stored. If you are overwriting an existing memory channel, the Air-Scan ® V will beep to let you know that a frequency is already stored there. You must push the Memory key a second time to store the new frequency. -

followed by the Up key for every frequency change instead of having to enter each frequency manually. While in the Recall mode the only entries accepted are entries between 1 and 5, the Up or Down key, the Clear key or the Light key. All other inputs cause the Air-Scan V to beep. Remember, you may press the Clear key at any time to exit the Recall mode. - Page 18 NOTE: It is very important that the squelch be properly adjusted prior to initiating a memory scan. The background static received with the squelch off may be strong enough to disrupt a scan. If a scan gets "stuck" on a frequency with too much background noise, increase the squelch or press and hold the Up or Down key for one second to skip that frequency and resume scanning.
