I am new to scanners and recently got my first one to listen to the police and fire frequencies. I bought it second hand so I am kind of on my own as to how to use it. I've already programed about 20 freqs in but its always on SCAN. I don't know how to zero in on my desired frequency. I have already visited this website for help but it doesn't answer my question. http://support.radioshack.com/support_electronics/36547.htm I've tried the MANUAL button but it only allows you to go up instead of down. I need some help on how to adjust so I can choose 1 frequency that I'll be able to stay on. Thank you.

Sorry must have missed that.
Please explain

Not sure what your asking to do.
Are you trying to do a search for frequencies or just stop it on a specific frequency you already programed?

The only way that I've been able to listen to the channel I want to is by pressing the MANUAL button whenever a tone comes over. The only way that I know how to get on the channel that I want is by pressing MANUAL but it only allows you to go up by channels instead of down. I want to know what I press so I can listen to say channel 1 or 2 if I'm on chan. 14 and want to switch. At this time I don't know how to go down in channels.

Get it to be on Manual mode, then use the up and down arrows to get to the channel you want.

Press the manual button to stop the scanner.Punch in the channel number of the channel you want to hear and press manual again.
