PSR-410 manual entry?

[snork]

I'm about to order a PSR-410. I do not need much of a scanner, but do want alpha tags, so this seems to be the best cheaper one out there.

I don't have many frequencies to enter, and no trunked systems.

Most of what I need is:
Various ham simplex and repeater outputs 2m (maybe a half dozen)
Various ham simplex and repeater outputs 440 (another half dozen)
Local FD dispatch (1 vhf)
Local FD tac (2 vhf, 1 uhf)

and that is about all. I don't see spending seventy bucks (cable + software) to put in 16 frequencies (including alpha tags and PL).

Would it be that difficult?

no, not too hard at all for that many.

No sweat at all with the frequencies in hand. I was in the same boat with a similar scanner in order to get the alpha tags.... they are great and makes listening much more user friendly.

I have one, they are pretty basic, once you get your head around the menu system
It wont take you long at all
