Radio Shack PRO-2049 - Manually Storing Frequencies into Channels

18
MANUALLY STORING
FREQUENCIES INTO
CHANNELS
If you know a frequency you want to
store, you can store it manually into a
channel.
Good references for active frequen-
cies are RadioShack’s “Police Call
Radio Guide Including Fire and Emer-
gency Services,” “Aeronautical Fre-
quency Directory,” and “Maritime
Frequency Directory.” We update
these directories every year, so be
sure to get a current copy. See also
“Guide to the Action Bands” on
Page 28 in this manual.
Note:
If you do not have a reference
to frequencies in your area, follow the
steps in “Searching For and Tempo-
rarily Storing Active Frequencies” on
Page 19 to search for transmissions.
Follow these steps to manually store a
frequency into a channel.
1. If the scanner is scanning, press

(or the
previously programmed fre-
quency) appear on the display.
4. Using the number keys, enter the
frequency you want to store into
that channel, including the deci-
mal point.
Note:
Your scanner automatically
rounds the entered frequency up
to the closest valid frequency. For
example, if you try to enter a fre-
quency of 151.473, your scanner
accepts it as 151.475.
5. Press

to store the frequency. If
the channel was locked out, the
lockout is removed.
Note:
If you entered an invalid fre-
quency in Step 4, the scanner dis-
plays

then
repeat Steps 4 and 5.
6. To program the next channel in
sequence, repeat Steps 3–5. To
program another channel (not in
sequence), repeat Steps 2–5.
