Introduction
Scanning technology has changed dramatically over the
years. A scanner with Object Oriented User Interface
is designed to help the hobbyist build a collection of
channels to scan:
• Start small and expand
• Organize channels and talkgroups
• Remove unwanted channels and talkgroups
What is Object Oriented Scanning?
Programming scanning receivers can be challenging,
but object-oriented programming simplifies the process
by using common conventions for scanning concepts
that have common characteristics.
A Scannable Object is any defined item that can be
scanned or monitored, including:
• Conventional, non-trunked radio frequencies
• Talkgroups used on a trunked radio system
• Radio services
• Defined searches
Because scannable objects are defined by the same
basic elements, the Object Oriented User Interface
(OOUI) is designed to simplify scanning by managing
all scannable objects similarly. When you learn how to
program one type of object, you can program other
types of scannable objects as well.

Scanning Legally
Your scanner covers frequencies used by many
different groups including police and fire departments,
ambulance services, government agencies, private
companies, amateur radio services, military operations,
pager services, and wireline (telephone and telegraph)
service providers. It is legal to listen to almost every
transmission your scanner can receive. However, there
are some transmissions you should never intentionally
listen to.
These include:
• Telephone conversations (cellular, cordless, or other
means of private telephone signal transmission)
• Paging transmissions
• Any intentionally decoded scrambled or encrypted
transmissions
According to the Electronic Communications Privacy
Act (ECPA), you are subject to fines and possible
imprisonment for intentionally listening to, using, or
divulging the contents of such a transmission unless
you have the consent of a party to the communication
(unless such activity is otherwise illegal). This scanner
has been designed to prevent reception of illegal
transmissions. This is done to comply with the legal
requirement that scanners be manufactured so as to not
be easily modifiable to pick up those transmissions.
Do not open your scanner’s case to make any
modifications that could allow it to pick up
transmissions that are illegal to monitor. Doing so
could subject you to legal penalties. We encourage
responsible, legal scanner use. In some areas, mobile
use of this scanner is unlawful or requires a permit.
Check the laws in your area. It is also illegal in many
areas to interfere with the duties of public safety
officials by traveling to the scene of an incident without
authorization.
Even where not permitted, mobile use of a scanner is
typically permitted if you are a licensed Amateur Radio
operator capable of emergency radio communications.
If interested, see for information on www.arrl.org
becoming a ham radio operator.

Setup
Antenna
To connect the included antenna:
1. Align the slots around the
antenna’s connector with the tabs
on the antenna jack.
2. Press the antenna down over
the jack and turn the antenna’s
base clockwise until it locks into
place.
You can use a variety of antennas. To connect and
external antenna, follow the installation instructions
supplied with the antenna. Always use 50-ohm coaxial
cable, such as RG-58 or RG-8 low-loss dielectric coaxial
cable. You may also need a BNC adapter.
WARNING: Use extreme caution when installing or
removing an outdoor antenna. If the antenna starts
to fall, let it go! It could contact overhead power
lines. If the antenna touches a power line, touching
the antenna, mast, cable, or guy wires can cause
electrocution and death. Call the power company
to remove the antenna. attempt to do so DO NOT
yourself.
9
WARNING: Outdoor antennas must be properly
grounded to prevent static buildup and lightning
damage. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information about proper
grounding of the antenna mast, connection of coaxial
cable to an lightning arrestor, size of grounding
conductors, location of the lightning arrestor and
connection of grounding conductors to grounding
electrodes.
Disconnect your radio from the outdoor antenna during
electrical storm activity to prevent damage.
Headphones and Speakers
You can plug headphones (not supplied) or an amplified
speaker (not supplied) with a 1/8 inch (3.5mm) stereo
mini-plug in the headphone jack on top of your scanner.
This automatically disconnects the internal speaker.
NOTE: Use an amplified speaker; a non-amplified
speaker may not provide sufficient volume for
comfortable listening.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when
you use headphones:
• Set the volume to zero before putting on
headphones. With the headphones on, adjust the
volume to a comfortable level.
• Avoid increasing the volume after you set it. Over
time, your sensitivity to a volume level decreases,
so volume levels that do not cause discomfort might
damage your hearing. Avoid or limit listening at
high-volume levels. Prolonged exposure to high-
volume levels can cause permanent hearing loss.
• Wearing headphones while operating a motor
vehicle or riding a bicycle can create a traffic
hazard and is illegal in most areas. Even though
some headphones let you hear some outside
sounds when listening at normal volume levels,
they still can present a traffic hazard. Exercise
extreme caution!
10
Batteries
A low battery warning sounds every 30 seconds (default
setting) when the batteries are
low.
1. Be sure to turn the scanner
off!
2. Slide open the battery
compartment cover.
3. Set the Battery Type
Selector:
• ALKA − Alkaline
• NI-MH − Rechargeable NI-MH
4. Install four AA batteries, matching the polarity
symbols (+ and –).
5. Replace the cover.
WARNING: Never install alkaline batteries with the
Battery Type Selector switch set to NI-MH. Alkaline
batteries can get hot or explode if you try to recharge
them.
Recycle Rechargeable Batteries
Recycle your old rechargeable batteries
at one of the many collection sites in
the U.S. and Canada. To find the site
nearest you, visit www.call2recycle.org
or call toll- free 1-877-2-RECYCLE.
Battery Notes:
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type.
Do not mix old and new batteries, different battery
types (alkaline or rechargeable), or rechargeable
batteries of different capacities.
Dispose of batteries promptly and properly; do not
burn or bury them.
For long-term storage (a month or longer), remove the
batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can damage
electronic parts.
Do not overcharge rechargeable batteries.
Overcharging shortens battery life.

Program Methods
There are two methods to program your scanner.
To get started quickly, you can use “Set Location.”
The set location method stores objects in your area
automatically and puts them in Scanlists 151 and higher.
These Scanlists are already named, “Multi Dispatch,”
“Law Tac,” “Interop” “ ,” and so forth. This Fire Talk
method gets you scanning in minutes, but you cannot
monitor a single police or a single fire department –
they will all be together in the same Scanlist. Also, if
you use set location, and wish to add a new location, be
sure to “ ” to erase old objects before Clear Channels
storing the new location. If you store more than one
ZIP code, the scanner will spend a great deal of time
searching for objects that are out of range. That will
cause the scanner to miss some local transmissions you
want to hear.
Although it takes longer, experienced users will want to
program Scanlists on their own using the “Preferred”
method. Use “ ” to select your state Browse Library
and county and look for agencies of interest. Check the
boxes of objects you wish to import, select the Scanlist
you want to put them in and perform the import (see
Preferred Programming). Once you save objects to a
Scanlist, rename the Scanlist so you don’t forget what
you stored there. Then import more objects into a
different Scanlist and rename that one. In this way, you
can create Scanlists such as Bethel Police, Hurst Police,
Bethel Fire, Shenango EMS, etc. Individual scanlists
allow you to decide exactly what you want to scan.
16
Setting Location
Your scanner can select services to scan based on your
location. Press MENU and scroll to “Set Location” and
press the key.
You can specify your location by City, County or ZIP
Code. Scroll to the desired method and press the
key. If you select City or County, the scanner will prompt
you for your State. Use the key to select the first or
letter of your State, then press the key. Scroll /II/SEL
to your state and press the key. Use the key to or
select the first letter of your City or county, then press
the /II/SEL key. Scroll to your City or County, then
press the key.
Select County:
First letter: A
SEL = Done
If you select ZIP Code, the scanner will prompt you to
enter your five-digit ZIP Code. Use the key to or
adjust each digit, then use the or key to select
each digit. When you are done, press the key./II/SEL
ZIP Code
00000
moves cursor
SEL MENU=OK =BACK
NOTE: Although you can program multiple locations, to
get maximum scanner performance its best to program
only 1 location or ZIP code. Scanning multiple locations
will cause missed transmissions due to the scanner
searching for out of range frequencies.
You can accept a preselected set of Default Types for
your location, or you can specify Custom Types (see
next section). To select the Default Service Types, press
the key, then the /II/SEL key to import the Default
Set of Service Types for that City or County. Wait for the
Import process to end, then press the /II/SEL.

When you are done, press the key, then the
/ II/SEL key to import the selected services. Press the
SKIP key to return to the Service list without importing.
To perform additional imports, press the key /II/SEL
and wait for import process to end. Press the SKIP key
to return to the Main Menu.
Services selected through Set Location are
automatically assigned to Scanlists beginning at number
151; each selected Service is assigned to a separate
Scanlist, which is given the name of the service.
These Scanlists are automatically selected for Scanning.
You can select or deselect Scanlists as desired through
the Scanlist item on the Main Menu.
NOTE: MENU Press or to return to main menu.
To clear all data from the current Folder on the Set

Standard Text Entry Method
Your scanner features a high-contrast, backlit
alphanumeric display that provides constant feedback
about what the radio is doing while scanning and
monitoring your “Scannable Objects”. To get the most
out of your scanner and this display, you will want to
name your objects as you program them into the radio.
This allows for easy identification of active objects while
the radio is scanning.
Your scanner uses a simple text entry method that
allows entry of all uppercase and lowercase letters of
the alphabet, numbers, and punctuation symbols.
Entering and Editing Alphanumeric Information
A Standard Text Entry Method is used for entering
alphanumeric information into the radio. This method
allows easy access to each letter in the alphabet by
pressing two keys that represent the letter.
Take a moment to study the numeric keys on the
keypad and you will notice that keys 2-9 each have
three or four letters printed on the front panel just
above each key. To enter a letter in an alphanumeric
text field, simply press the number key below the letter
you wish to type first, then press the number key that
corresponds with the position of the letter in the silk
screen group. For example, the number 2 is used to
access the letters A, B and C. To type the letter A,
press 2 to select the ABC group, then 1 to select the
first letter in the group, A. Likewise, to type the letter B,
press 2 to select the ABC group, then press 2 again to
select the second letter in the group. And, to type the
letter C, simply press 2, then 3 to select the third letter
in the “ABC” group.
To enter numbers in alphanumeric text fields, press 1
first, then the number you wish to type.
To enter punctuation, press 0 first to see the first
set of punctuation, then press the number key
that corresponds with the position of the desired
punctuation mark in the set.
Press the . (period) key to enter a SPACE.
While using Standard Text Entry, the Fn key serves as a
shift key. For letters, uppercase text is typed by default,
and you can shift to lowercase by pressing the Fn key
before entering a character. For punctuation, the Fn key
accesses a second set of punctuation marks. The shift
action of the Fn key remains active until it is pressed
again.

the cursor to the beginning or end of an edit field,
respectively.
The character set and corresponding entry codes are
provided below for reference. Pressing Fn to toggle
the shift lock status will produce lower case characters
for letters, and a second set of punctuation marks for
special characters. For brevity, lower case letters are not
shown in the table below.

Essential Trunking Talkgroup parameters
As a standalone object, a TRGP object is really no more
complicated than a CONV object. The trunking system
(TSYS) that the TGRP is a member of must be specified.
Each talkgroup has a digital “address” on the trunking
system, which is called the talkgroup ID, and this must
be provided. We also recommend that you label your
TGRP object by giving it a name in the TAG field. This
will make it easier for you to find the TGRP object
later, and identify it when the scanner stops to monitor
activity.
Setting up and using a Trunking System (TSYS)
object
We just mentioned that the TSYS is an essential
parameter needed in order for a TGRP object to
function properly and receive radio traffic. The TSYS
object has its own set of essential parameters, and
these parameters vary depending on the type of
trunked radio system you plan to monitor. If you are a
reasonably experienced user you probably already know
what the essential parameters are for the system you
wish to monitor. For example, each TSYS must correctly
specify the type of system being monitored, the control
channel or LCN frequencies used by the system, and
so on. A detailed description of each type of system
supported by this radio and the essential parameters
required to make the different types of trunked radio
systems work properly is provided in the help section of
the EZ Scan software.
IMPORTANT: The first time you make a TGRP for a
particular trunked radio system, you must also create a
TSYS that contains the system parameters associated
with that trunked radio system. Once you create a
TSYS object for the trunked radio system, you can use
the TSYS object over and over again without having to
re-enter all of the system data.

TGID Wildcard
Radio ID
Alpha Tag
In the following step you will store a Wildcard talkgroup
with the number 65535. If you would rather store a
TGRP object for a specific talkgroup ID, just press the
number keys to enter the talkgroup ID of the desired
talkgroup, then press the key to store the ID.SEL
HINT: TGRP objects are also used to receive Private/
Individual Calls on trunking systems that support these
call types. Simply check the Radio ID check box. A
Wildcard TGRP object with Radio ID box checked will
monitor all Private/Individual Calls seen on the system,
or you can specify a radio ID to watch for in the ID:
field.
Scroll down to Save Changes and perform the save.
The Wildcard talkgroup allows you to hear everything
on the system.
If you entered an actual talk group, be sure to name
this TID by changing Wildcard to the talkgroup’s actual
name. You'll want to scroll down two more clicks to
the Tag: field and enter an easy to remember name for
your talkgroup that corresponds with its purpose on the
trunked radio system. For this example, lets assume that
this is a police dispatch talkgroup, and we would like to
use the name “POLICE DISPATCH” for the tag. Scroll
to the Tag: field and press the SEL key. Using the text
entry methods that you have previously employed for
naming your CONV and TSYS objects, name your new
talkgroup “POLICE DISPATCH”:
34
7 1 P
6 3 O
5 3 L
4 3 I
2 3 C
3 2 E
. <space>
3 1 D
4 3 I
7 4 S
7 1 P
2 1 A
8 1 T
2 3 C
4 2 H
Press SEL to store the name, then press SEL to store
the TGRP as a new object. As with the other object
types, there are many other parameters you can edit for
the TGRP, but for now, that's all you have to do to start
monitoring traffic on that TGRP! To add more TGRPs
on the same system, follow the same steps above,
this time specifying the TSYS that you just created. To
create TGRPs on a different system, follow the steps
above, specify a NEW system, and provide the correct
parameters for that system, as shown above. With
regard to trunked radio systems, it is important to note
that a "system" cannot be scanned. If one wishes to
monitor radio traffic on a trunked radio system, one
must create a TGRP object. A TGRP object includes
the parameters for a trunked radio system so that it will
operate properly. Trunking system(TSYS) parameters are
stored as a separate "configuration object", and can be
used over and over again in other talkgroup objects on
the same trunked radio system.
Also with regard to trunked radio systems, it is
important to note that a talkgroup object may be
configured in one of four different ways to monitor
traffic on a trunked radio system. They are as follows:
• will monitor all talkgroup call Wildcard Talkgroup:
radio traffic on the desired trunked radio system
• will only monitor talkgroup Talkgroup with TGID:
call radio traffic on the specified TGID (enter
the desired talkgroup in the ID: field of the
TGRP object to scan a specified ID)
35
• will monitor all private call Wildcard Private Call:
radio traffic on the desired trunked radio system (in
the TGID field, and set the Type field to Private)
• will only monitor private call Private Call with ID:
radio traffic on the specified TGID (enter the desired
Radio ID in the TGID field, and set the Type field to
Private)
NOTE: For now, just let your new objects go to the
default Scan List. Later in this section we will show you
how you can group your objects into Scan Lists.
Talkgroup Object (TGRP)
Talkgroup Object (TGRP)
A Trunking Talkgroup Object (TGRP) is a record that
stores the parameters for a trunked talkgroup on a
trunked radio system. When you create a TGRP object,
you are creating an object that will allow you to scan
and monitor a talkgroup on a particular trunked radio
system.
Importing DMR systems using
the EZ Scan PC Application
Importing DMR systems using the EZ Scan PC
Application is nearly identical to importing any other
type of trunked radio system. The most significant
difference between DMR systems verses other types
of systems is that the scanner does not use the DMR
control channel. Instead, your scanner will attempt
to scan all sites and all frequencies for each site to
determine if there is activity to be monitored.
When programming DMR systems, it is recommended
that you select/import and/or only enable the sites that
you believe will be in range of your location.
NOTE: The following steps assume you have “Set
Location” to off in the EZ Scan PC Application General

Recording and Playback
Your scanner features a powerful audio recording
system that captures transmissions that occur on
selected Objects to the Micro SD card using the high
quality, industry standard .AU audio file format.
For example, a 2GB Micro SD card with a very large
scanning configuration (e.g., 500 MB) still leaves room
for over 50 hours of recording time and thousands
of recorded transmissions! Here are just a few of the
things you can do with the audio recording system:
• Record all transmissions that occur on talkgroups or
channels that are of interest to you for later review.
• Perform attended or unattended searches for
new frequencies, automatically storing audio with
frequency information for all transmissions found
while searching.
• Record all transmissions that occur on ALL
talkgroups or channels, providing an instant recall
function to replay a prior transmission that was
missed or unintelligible.
Audio recording is not enabled by default. To enable
audio recording, make sure that the Enable Record
option in the Global Settings menu is checked, and
set the Record flag in any Objects that you wish to
record. You may wish to record audio for all of your
programmed Objects, which provides the ability to
instantly replay any transmission that the radio receives
in cases where the traffic may be difficult to copy.
When recording is enabled radio wide and for selected
Objects, you will see the icon flash in the display
when the audio recorder is actively recording audio
information.
When the Micro SD card is almost full, the F icon will
appear in the display to indicate that recording is
suspended. Delete or archive old audio files to make
room for new recordings. To playback recorded audio
files:
1. From the Main Menu, select Playback to enter the
Playback System.
2. The Playback System will place you at the last
audio file that was recorded by the radio.
Press the /II/SEL key to play the file, or use the
and keys to scroll to another file for playback.
47
3. While playing a file, the and keys set the
playback volume, and the or keys move
backward and forward in the file being played in
five second increments. The SKIP key ends
playback of the current file.
4. After scrolling to a file, you can press the MENU key
for a list of playback options.
Main Menu jumps to the Main Menu.
• Back jumps back to the list of recorded files.
• Play From Here plays the current recording and all
recordings afterwards.
• Delete All deletes all recorded audio files.
• Delete Earlier deletes recorded audio files prior to
the selected audio file.
• Delete Later deletes the selected audio file and all
recorded audio files after the selected file.
The EZ Scan Software includes advanced audio file
playback and management features in addition to the
audio playback and management features in the radio.
Using IF Output
Your scanner can provide its IF/discriminator output
signal to the headphone jack. The IF/discriminator
output is unsquelched and unfiltered, making it ideal for
third party signal analysis and decoding software and
hardware.
To activate IF Output mode:
1. Press MENU.
2. Scroll to the Program Menu, Press , Global SEL
Settings, Press to continue.SEL
3. Scroll past the Expert section to the IF Out setting.
4. Press the to scroll through the available options:
Off = disables the IF output function.
HP = routes the IF/discriminator to the headphone jack.
HP/SP = routes the IF/discriminator signal to the
headphone jack and the speaker.
48
Internal Clock/Calendar
Your scanner includes a real time clock/calendar that is
used to correctly date and time stamp recorded audio
files. The first time you power on your scanner, you will
be prompted to set the time and date.
If batteries are allowed to fully discharge, or if they are
removed from the scanner for more than a few minutes,
the date and time will need to be set again. You can
also set the date and time over the USB connection
using the EZ Scan Software, or directly on the radio
using the Set Clock function in the Main Menu.
Monitoring and Scanning
When programmed, your scanner provides two basic
functions for scanning radio transmissions:
• Monitoring – Listening to a single object.
• Scanning – Checking multiple saved objects,
stopping when a transmission is detected.
To scan more quickly, you can skip or lock out
frequencies that you do not wish to scan. A skipped
frequency is ignored during the current scan; a locked
out frequency is ignored for all scans unless it is
unlocked.
To monitor a frequency or talkgroup:
1. From the main menu, select Browse Objects, then
press .
2. Use the direction keys to browse Scanlists and
objects.
3. Press to monitor the displayed frequency./II/SEL
4. Press or to select another object or press
to begin scanning./II/SEL
To scan your active Scanlists:
1. Press MENU.
2. Select Scan from the main menu and press or
/II/SEL.
3. To pause the scan, press when scanner /II/SEL
stops on a transmission. To resume scanning, press
again./II/SEL
49
To enable or disable Scanlists:
While scanning, pressing 1 thru 200 will toggle the
selected scanlist on or off. Each button must be pressed
within 2 second of the last. If more than 1 scanlist
will be toggled on or off, press the decimal once as
a separator. Pressing the decimal twice will end the
sequence.
Example: If you wish to toggle scanlist 9 you press 9 If
you wish to toggle scanlist 9, 11, and 22 simply press
the following 9 . 11 . 22 or 9 . 11 . 22 . or 9 . 11 . 22..
To lock out objects:
1. From main menu, select Browse Objects, then press
.
2. Use the keys to browse objects then press
MENU.
3. Select Locked Out and press . A checkmark ( )
indicates Lockout is selected. A square () indicates
Lockout is disabled. An uppercase L in the display
indicates a locked out frequency.
NOTE: SKIP The button can be programmed in the
Global Settings Menu (first option under the Expert
section) to perform the Lockout function.
To skip transmissions while scanning:
1. Wait for scanner to stop on the transmission and
press SKIP. An uppercase S in the display indicates
a skipped object.
2. To skip a specific object, you can browse to the
object and press SKIP.
3. To restore a skipped object, browse to it and press
SKIP.
4. To restore all skipped objects, in the main menu,
select Restore Skipped and press .
NOTE: If the specific object is locked out vs. skipped
the SKIP button may have been programmed as
Lockout function.
50
TIP: Consider how you plan to organize your objects
for scanning. You can organize your scan lists
geographically, assigning objects for your location in
one list and objects for other locations in different lists.
You can organize your scan lists by trunking system,
assigning TGRP objects associated with specific trunked
radio systems to separate lists.
To rename a Scanlist:
1. Select Scanlist from the main menu, and then press
.
2. Select a Scanlist and press . The Scanlist name
appears.
3. Press or to move the cursor; press or
to change the character. Press SKIP to delete a
character.
To set priority objects. Priority is used only when
you want regular scanner operation interrupted to
hear something on your priority object(s):
1. Browse to the object and press Menu.
2. Select Priority and press . A checkmark ( )
indicates an Priority is selected. A square ( )
indicates Priority is disabled.
NOTE: To set priority, Priority Mode must be enabled
in the Configuration menu. Setting any object as a
priority can cause normal scanner interruption.
Scanlist and Scan Sets
There are 20 Scan Sets that work in conjunction with
Scanlists to provide additional scan object selection
capability and flexibility. Each Scan Set contains a list
of all 200 normal Scanlists plus the special Skywarn®
Scanlist.
With Scan Sets you can quickly select large groups
of Scanlists to enable or disable, just by enabling or
disabling the Scan Sets that contain the desired groups
of Scanlists, instead of individually editing the list of
enabled Scanlists every time you want to change the
group of Scanlists you wish to monitor.
For example:
On Scanlists 01 through 30 you decide to put all of
City1. On Scanlists 31 through 50 you decided to put all
of City 2, on Scanlists 51 through 62 you decided to put
all of City 3. When you move from city to city, it would
take some time to individually toggle off the unwanted
scanlists and toggle on the new ones. This is where
Scan sets come in.
51
NOTE: When you start a scan, the first thing the scanner
does is check to see what Scan set(s) is (are) enabled.
It finds Scan set 01 on by default. Next it checks to
see what Scanlists are permitted in Scan set 01 and it
finds that every scanlist is checked (all are allowed).
This means the scanner will use the checked Scanlist
boxes to control what Scanlists are scanned. If you have
objects stored and the scanner reports, “Nothing to
Scan!” Check to see if you accidentally unchecked the
box for Scan set 01.
Rename Scan set 01 to City 1 name and uncheck all
boxes 31 and up. Leave Skywarn® checked so you can
enable Skywarn if you are in City 1. Rename Scan set
02 to City 2 name and check scanlist boxes 31 through
50 and Skywarn, all others should be off. And finally,
rename Scan set 03 to City 3 name and check boxes for
Scanlists 51 through 62 and Skywarn.
Now when changing from city to city, simply uncheck
the Scanset box for the city you are leaving and check
the box for the one you are entering.
Searching
You can locate active frequencies quickly and
easily using one of the Scanner’s three convenient
frequency search modes:
• – sweeps rapidly through Spectrum Sweeper
frequency ranges in 1MHz blocks. Unlike the
frequency counter method used in other scanners,
Spectrum Sweeper is far more sensitive, arguably
just as fast and the only technology that lets you lock
out and keep searching in the same band.
• – searches through frequencies Service Search
used by the following radio services: Public
Safety, Aircraft, Railroad, Amateur, CB,Marine, and
FRS/ GMRS/MURS. This is a good way to find activity
on local frequencies.
• – searches within a range of Limit Search
frequencies that you define.
To use Spectrum Sweeper:
1. In the main menu, select Search, and press to
enter the search menu.
2. Select Spectrum Sweeper and press .
3. Select All Bands or Public Safety and press right
( ) to start the search. Spectrum Sweeper
sweeps through frequency ranges in 1 MHz blocks.
4. Press to stop search which enters Sweeper MENU
menu where you can select fewer bands to search.
