Now that you are aware of some of the flexibility of your Bearcat 300,
you are ready to enter local frequencies.
You can program your receiver to scan 50 different frequencies, one
for each of the 50 channels, arranged in 5 groups of 10 channels each.

This manual selection of channels may continue through all fifty
channels, even without all channel banks having been pressed.
If you attempt to program a frequency that is outside the tuning
range of the receiver, "Error" appears on the display, and you simply
enter a new frequency.
If you make a mistake on one channel
PRESS: then program correct number.
An alternate method is to
PRESS: twice which erases the mistake and returns
to previous channel frequency.
