This is an excellent radio that has many fine features for scanning and trunking. However, anyone who has tried to read the manual
that comes with the radio knows it can be a little hard to find, read, and figure out some of the steps, especially in the trunking
section.
Even as a veteran user I can't remember everything and find myself referring back to the manual for explanations of procedures and
find it frustrating trying to figure out the wording every time. I decided to write and print this for myself to make it easier to use the
radio and am happy to share it with you. This should also make it easier for most people to use some of the more advanced features
of the radio (and get their money's worth if you paid fullprice for the radio new) as I will try to explain procedures a little more clearly
and in a more logical order. Granted, this radio isn't simple so you will have to spend some time on it but this manual will make it
easier. If you follow the red highlighted text in the programming sections, you should find what you need to know. If you want to find
out what's really going on with the radio, read everything else.
Some of the better features of the radio are that it has 20 banksbut you can only scan 10 at a time (group A or B). Priority ID
scanning1 ID per scan list, 5 lists per bank and then you can tweak it to scan just the priority IDs. Unlike some of the newer
scanners, you can see the ID and channel information in the display. You can program just the fleet or subfleet for an EDACS
system to save space in the ID lists.
An overview of the features can also be viewed at my Trunking Radio Comparison Chart page.
There are better antennas out there to use than the one that comes with the scanner. RS has the CenterLoaded Telescoping Whip
for $19 better for VHF/UHF. The 800MHz Scanner Antenna for $20 100% better for 700+ MHz but keep your stock rubber
