WIN97 has tabs to select different types of pages. The default tab is "SETTINGS". This is where you enter the priority frequency (if you want to use one), which banks are enabled by default, the sign-on message and other generic global settings in the scanner.
Select the "CHANNELS" tab by clicking on it. It will default to bank 0. There are 100 frequency slots there (00-99). There are 10 banks to select between (0-9). Over to the right are where the talkgroups get entered.
If you read the manual for the scanner, or the online easier-to-read version; you'll understand the organization of the scanner better. I know it is complex, and wouldn't expect you to learn it all at once. But WIN97 just mimics the scanner. In other words, if you understand the scanner, you'll understand WIN97.
Do you have any idea of what you want to program and/or how you want to organize it in the scanner? The scanner is extremely flexible (which means you decide how you want it programmed). I suggest dedicating a single bank to a trunked system (I know it seems like a waste because you'll probably only use 4 frequency slots) for now until you get the hang of it. Use another bank or banks for the conventional frequencies you want to monitor. Get something programmed so you can start to use the scanner. Once you're listening you'll start to understand better how to organize it. And you can work on the organization in WIN97 on your computer while listening. Then upload to the scanner when you've completed the next revision of your organization.
