NOTE:
!
When selecting objects below the Systems level from either States
!
or Cities/Counties, keep in mind that one or more Sites must be also
!
be selected along with any individual talkgroup objects that you pick
!
from a System. When in doubt about which Site should be selected,
!
you can select all sites, or even the entire System, and the EZ
!
Scan-SD will automatically find and use the best available site. For
!
more information about Systems, see the Conventional Frequencies
!
and Trunking Talkgroups section below.
More often than not, you
ʼ
ll probably want to explore counties and
independent cities for radio systems and users in your immediate
area, so for this step by step process, we
ʼ
ll use Counties/Cities
as our example.
Scroll to Counties/Cities and press the
key to proceed. You
ʼ
ll
be presented with a list of counties and independent cities for
your state, with the counties appearing first at the top of the list.
Now, scroll to your county or independent city and press the
key to proceed to the next step.

!
You can also press the
key anytime to navigate backward through
!
the Library menu system.
For counties and independent cities, there will typically be three
options to choose from: Agencies, Categories and Systems. The
association of objects with each of these groups depends a lot
on how the RadioReference volunteers decide to group the
information they submitted to the RadioReference database.
You
ʼ
ll likely find businesses, airports, attractions, authorities and
other non-governmental entities under the Agencies group.
Government and public safety entities will likely be found under
Categories, or, if the county or city operates a trunked radio
system, under the Systems grouping.
The EZ Scan-SD makes it easy for you to explore all of these
groups. Just use the
and
keys to “drill in” and “drill out” of
the Library
ʼ
s menu system.
Picking Objects from the Library
As you continue to drill in to each Library grouping using the
key, you
ʼ
ll eventually see empty checkboxes next to the listings
that appear. You can continue to drill in deeper by pressing the
key, or, if desired, press the
▶
/II/SEL
key to pick all of the
objects associated with the grouping. A checkmark will appear
instead the empty checkbox to indicate that the object or group
of objects is selected for importing. Press the
▶
/II/SEL
key again
to unselected selected objects or groupings.
