Programming Tips
Do not program a weather frequency into one of the channels, since weather channels
transmit continuously. Use the Weather Search feature to select the weather information band.
Group similar services into a bank. For example, program police frequencies in channels 1
through 10 and fire/emergency into channels 51 through 60, and so on.
Put the frequency that you listen to the most or the most important frequency into a
Priority channel.
To quickly program a series of channels, start with the lowest number channel.
For example, when you are programming five new frequencies into Channels 4 through
8, start with Channel 4. After you finish programming a channel, press
MAN or HOLD/
to go to the next higher channel.
Write down your programmed channels and frequencies and put in a convenient place in
case of accidental reprogramming.
Frequencies are rounded off according to the step of each channel.
When you are overwriting a tagged channel with a new frequency, the previous alpha tag
will be deleted. You must re-enter the alpha tag.
When programming frequencies, a 2 second delay is set automatically but can be
changed in the Channel Data menu.
