I have owned a couple of SC230 scanners for several years and use them at NASCAR races.
In the past the race teams tended to use the same tone codes on their frequencies throughout the year. Recently, the teams have started switching tone codes fairly frequently. So, when you get to the track, you have to set the CTCSS/DCS menu option to SEARCH. When you catch a transmission, the display shows the tone code. Then, you have to go through several menu choices to program the correct tone code for that frequency. With most drivers using 2 frequencies and wanting to listen to several drivers, it is very time consuming to capture and program all the tone codes.
I have tried several key combinations unsuccessfully to see if there is a shortcut to program the tone code for the frequency. It would be so great if something like Func + some other key would just store the tone code with the frequency.
I'm hoping that there is a way to do this, and I just haven't been smart enough to figure out how to do this.
Does anyone on the forum know if what I want to do is possible?
