Programming Radio Systems
Programming Radio Systems
To edit an existing system, use the menu to navigate to
the system setting you want to change. This section
assumes you are programming a new system.
Programming radio systems is completed in two major
steps. Don't skip either step!
1. Plan the system.
2. Program the system into your scanner according to
the plan you prepared in Step 1.
To make planning easier, planning worksheets are
included in the back of this manual for each system type.
Copy the worksheets, then use them to plan out how you
will program the scanner.
Important! Before you start programming your
scanner, make sure the batteries are fresh or fully
charged. If the scanner loses power while you
program it, its memory might be corrupted which will
require you to reinitialize it (see “Initializing the
Scanner’s Memory” on Page 40). All information
programmed in the scanner,including preprogrammed
systems, might be lost.
General Notes
• You can store up to 200 systems.
• The number of system channels you can have is
limited only by the amount of scanner memory
remaining.
• You can store up to 20 channel groups per
conventional system.
• Total channels are limited to about 2500.
• Channels that have text tags use more memory than
those that do not. If you use a text tag for every
channel, total channels are reduced from 2500 (1600
is typical).
