STORING KNOWN 
FREQUENCIES INTO 
CHANNELS
Good references for active frequen-
cies are the RadioShack “Police Call
Guide including Fire and Emergency
Services,” “Official Aeronautical Fre-
quency Directory,” and “Maritime Fre-
quency Directory.” We update these
directories every year, so be sure to
get a current copy.
Note:  To store trunking system fre-
quencies, see “Programming Trunked

Follow these steps to store frequen-
cies into channels.
1. Press 
MANUAL

nel number (1–1000) where you
want to store a frequency, then
press 
MANUAL
 again. The chan-

2. Use the number keys and 
 to
enter the frequency (including the
decimal point) you want to store.
3. Press 
E
 to store the frequency into
the channel.
Notes:

Error
