V-Scanner Storage
Your PRO-106 features two types of memory storage:
• Main memory is used to store programming
that is used for everyday monitoring and
scanning.
• Virtual Scanner (V-Scanner) memory is used to
store complete copies of your scanner’s main
memory for later recall. V-Scanner includes
objects, global settings, and dedicated search
configurations. Your scanner has 21 V-Scanner
storage locations, each capable of storing a
copy of your scanner’s main memory, including
all of your object and global settings.
You can custom-tailor a main memory configuration
to suit your needs for the type of scanning you do
in different situations, then store that configuration
for later use. If you travel frequently, you may want
to create V-Scanners for the areas where you travel.
V-Scanners are also useful for backing up your
configurations. Once you have main memory
configured the way you like it, you can save it to
a V-Scanner where it will remain untouched until
you delete, overwrite or recall it. Then, if you
happen to make a mistake while using your main
memory that you cannot fix, you can recall the
backup data and start again.
Your PRO-106 Scanner comes preprogrammed with
the frequencies, talkgroups, and configuration data
for approximately 350 trunked radio systems in the
United States. The preprogrammed data is stored
in V-Scanner folder storage locations (01-20). The
scanner’s working memory and V-Scanner folder
“00” are not preprogrammed with any data. See
the included “V-Scanner Preprogrammed Data” booklet
for more information.
Using V-Scanners
You can save active scanner configurations (called
“working” or “main” memory) to a V-Scanner
storage folder for later use. Then recall the stored
scanner configurations from a V-Scanner storage
folder to main memory when you want to use them.
When you recall a configuration from a V-Scanner
storage folder and use it in main memory, any
changes you make while using the configuration
will not automatically be transferred to the
configuration data stored in the V-Scanner
storage folder. You must save your changes back
to that folder location if you want to preserve
them for later use.
When you load a new configuration into main
memory, the contents of main memory are
overwritten and lost, unless you save your main
memory to a V-Scanner storage folder first. Once
the configuration data in main memory has been
overwritten, it cannot be recovered—there is no
“Undo” function.
Saving Main Memory to a V-Scanner Folder
1. Press FUNC, then PGM to enter V-Scanner
mode.
2. Press the Stor softkey.
3. Press S or T to scroll to the desired
V-Scanner folder, then press the Stor
softkey.
4. If the selected V-Scanner folder already
contains data, you will be asked if you wish
to overwrite the existing data with new data
from your current version of main memory.
Press the
YES softkey to proceed, or the NO
softkey to cancel.
