Appendix C - Finding More Information
Learning About Scanning and your PSR-410
In recent years the Internet has become a powerful tool for both
experienced and novice scanning hobbyists. There are many online
discussion forums dedicated to the scanning hobby. In these discussion
forums, you will find users helping other users with questions about radio
systems, scanning receivers, antenna setups, and frequency listings for
different areas.
One of the most useful resources on the Internet are discussion forums
devoted to specific radio models. Frequently you will find other users
who are willing to answer questions or help you solve problems with your
scanning equipment.
In many cases a simple Web search using Google or other popular Internet
search tools will help you find web sites and discussion forums where
you can read more about the PSR-410, ask questions, and share your
experiences with other PSR-410 users.

Receiver products and accessories!
Finding Frequencies and Trunked System Information
Research is an important part of the scanning hobby. Before you can listen,
you must first figure out what you want to listen to, and then perform the
research necessary to obtain the conventional frequency or trunked radio
system information needed to program your radio.
Sometimes, a simple Web search using Google or other popular Internet
search tools is all that you need to get started. Try searching on “<name
of city or county> scanner frequencies” or “<name of city or county>
frequencies” (omitting the quotation marks and < > symbols) to locate
personal web pages with information about scanning in the specified areas.
One of the more enjoyable aspects of the scanning hobby is finding new
frequencies on your own. Your PSR-410 includes powerful Limit Search
(LMIT) and Service Search (SRVC) search capabilities that will help you
find active frequencies in your area, and a Spectrum Sweeper (SWPR)
that quickly searches through selected frequency bands to find nearby
transmitters.
