Programming Radio Systems
To edit an existing system, use the menu to navigate to the
system setting you want to change. This section assumes
you are programming a new system.
Programming radio systems is completed in two major steps.
Don't skip either step!
•
Plan the system.
•
Program the system into your scanner
according to the plan you prepared in the
previous step.
To make planning easier, planning worksheets are included
in the back of this manual for each system type.
Copy the worksheets, then use them to plan out how you
will program the scanner.
Important!
Before you start programming your scanner,
make sure the batteries are fresh or fully charged. If the
scanner loses power while you program it, its memory might
be corrupted which will require you to reinitialize it (see the
chapter about “Initializing the Scanner’s Memory”.
All information programmed in the scanner, including
preprogrammed systems, might be lost.
General Notes
• You can store up to 200 systems.
• The number of system channels you can have is
limited only by the amount of scanner memory
remaining.
• You can store up to 20 channel groups per
conventional system.
• Total channels are limited to about 2500.
• Channels that have text tags use more memory than
those that do not. If you use a text tag for every
channel, total channels are reduced from 2500 (1600
is typical).
