The Simple Method
-----------------
Use Win93 or Win95 to enter the following 6 frequencies into 6
channels. You can use either a "new blank template" or 6 empty
channels in an existing P93/P95 file. The description below assumes
that you're entering the frequencies into the first 6 channels in bank
0.
Channel 000 – 17.000000 MHz
Channel 001 – 54.005000 MHz
Channel 002 – 174.005000 MHz
Channel 003 – 225.005000 MHz
Channel 004 – 512.006250 MHz
Channel 005 – 960.006250 MHz
Note that these are the low frequencies in each of the ranges
described above.
Set the Receive Mode (either AM or FM) for each of the 6 channels.
If desired, save the file. Next, upload to the scanner as you usually
do with Win93/95. After the upload is complete, select one of the
channels from the scanner's keypad (i.e. press MANUAL, enter the 3-
digit channel number, and press MANUAL again). Then press the FUNC key
followed by the TUNE key. The channel's frequency will be moved to the
scanner's "tune mode", and the scanner will begin searching from that
frequency.
The scanner will search through the entire extended range, stopping
when it hits a "normal" range. For example, if you are searching
through the 174.005000 – 216.000000 range, the scanner will stop when
it hits 216.000000 MHz. To search again, repeat the steps above from
the first "press MANUAL" step.
If you want to search only a subset of one of these ranges, then
substitute the LOW frequency you want to search for one of the 6
frequencies above. The scanner will start searching at that frequency.
If you want to "back up" (i.e. search downward), enter the HIGH
frequency you want to search and press the DOWN arrow key on the
scanner's key pad immediately after pressing FUNC TUNE.
The scanner may stop on frequencies for which you cannot hear any
transmissions. This may be due to birdies in the scanner, or other
sources of interference (either within the scanner or in your local
environment). Merely press the UP arrow on the scanner's keypad to
skip past the offending frequencies.
