Scanning
How many times have you been on the ground near
an airport and wanted to scan ail the local frequencies? If
you have used another handheld radio, you may have
looked up the frequencies and entered them manually
into memory channels, and scanned those. That process
is a lot of work, especially if you want to turn around and
do the same thing at another airport. The GPSCOM 190
allows you to scan all of the frequencies for the nine near­
est airports (excluding ATIS) in the default scan mode
(see scan mode setup submenu on page 39).
