MANUALLY STORING
FREQUENCIES IN
CHANNELS
You can manually store up to 100 fre-
quencies into your scanner’s chan-
nels. Radio Shack sells some good
references for active frequencies,
such as “Police Call Radio Guide In-
cluding Fire and Emergency Servic-
es,” “Official Maritime Frequency
Directory” and “Official Aeronautical
Frequency Directory.”
Radio Shack updates these directo-
ries every year, so be sure to get a
current copy. If you do not have a ref-
erence to frequencies in your area,
you can use a limit or direct search to
find a transmission.
Follow these steps to manually store
frequencies.
1. Press

ning.

Notes:
• Frequencies are separated
from each other in the follow-
ing steps:
• When you enter a frequency,
the scanner automatically
rounds it to the nearest valid
number. For example, if you
enter the frequency 151.473,
your scanner rounds it up to
151.475.
