Scanner programming
Hi Newbie,
What don't you understand in the directions. If you can post specific questions, some of us may be able to help you.
I have been around scanners since we had to purchase a crystal for each channel we wanted and install it in the scanner. Maybe we could monitor 10 channels at most.
Most of todays scanners get programmed in a similar manner. You press the program key (could be marked 'pgm' or 'prog' or something similar). This should take you to the first channel to program. This could be channel '01' or sometimes channel '00'. You enter the frequency you want to hear (like 154.295) and press enter (ent) key. You are ready to listen to activity on that channel. While still on that channel press the program key again. It should automatically take you to the next channel. Keep entering the frequencies in your area the same way.
When they are all entered you can listen to one channel, or press scan to listen for activity on all entered channels. If there is too much activity on one channel (like you entered a NOAA weather channel, which has a constant transmission) your scanner will stay on the active channel until it is quiet. While on this channel you can press the lock out (L/O) key. The frequency will still be entered, but your scanner will skip over it while scanning.
If you have any other questions, post them and I'll see if I can help.
