34. Edit Channel
This menu lets you create channels and edit existing channels. All existing
channels are listed in alphabetical order: select the channel you want to edit, or
select New Channel to create a new one. You can have up to 1000 channels in a
conventional system and 500 channels in a trunked system.
When you create a new channel, the scanner prompts you to enter the frequency (in
a conventional system) or the Talk Group ID (in a trunked system) for the channel:
you can edit these at any time through this menu.
Edit Frequency (conventional systems)
Enter a valid frequency for this band. If the frequency is invalid or if it already
exists, the scanner sounds an error tone and prompts you enter the frequency again.
