Creating Scannable Objects
• Pressing FUNC p or FUNC q will jump to
the top or bottom of a menu, respectively.
• As you scroll the object menu, you will see
a line that states: EXPERT BELOW .
This line is found in the object menus and
the Global Configuration menu. It delineates
between basic settings and expert settings for
advanced users. For more information about
the Basic and Expert settings, refer to “Appendix
B: Detailed Menu Reference” on page 102.
• When entering data into a numerical field,
you can start typing as soon as you have
scrolled to the desired field, which will
replace any previous contents with your new
entry. Alternatively, you can press the u key,
which will preserve the original contents of
the field so you can make small changes
without retyping all of the data.
Conventional Channel Objects
A Conventional Channel Object (CONV) is a
record that stores the parameters for a regular,
non-trunked conventional AM or FM channel.
When you create a CONV object, you are
creating an object that will allow you to scan and
monitor a “plain old radio channel,” that is, a
single frequency and the associated parameters
that are necessary for you to receive traffic on that
frequency.
Essential Parameters
CONV objects are the simplest objects supported
by the radio. However, there are a few essential
parameters in the CONV object fields that must
be set correctly. The frequency must be set to
match the frequency of the transmitter you want
