Introduction
Many organizations, such as police
and fire departments, emergency
response teams, and airports, use
radio communication extensively
every day. Scanning these radio
communications is a great way
to listen to all the exciting events
happening in your area.
Radio communication is also used
to coordinate large events, and
spectators with radio scanners
listen to behind-the-scenes action.
One obstacle to scanning can be
configuring your scanner. The
iScan is designed to simplify this
process and get you started as
quickly and easily as possible.
• Auto Races
• Air Shows
• Sports
• Simple Controls
• Programming
Software
• Programming by
ZIP Code
• Police
• Fire Departments
• Air Ports
If you have a ZIP Code, you can program your iScan.
This
guide will help you set up and program your iScan, and then
provide more detailed instructions for fine-tuning your
scanning experience.
