hear a hissing sound, the scanner will

STORING KNOWN
FREQUENCIES INTO
CHANNELS
Good references for active frequencies are
RadioShack's Police Call, Aeronautical Fre-
quency Directory, and Maritime Frequency
Directory. We update these directories every
year, so be sure to get a current copy. Also
see the supplied Trunking Guide.
Note: If you are storing frequencies for an
EDACS system, you must store them in logi-
cal channel number order, with the first fre-
quency in channel 1 for the current bank.
Follow these steps to store frequencies into
channels.
