• Group similar services into a bank. For example, program
police frequencies in channels 1 through 10 and
fire/emergency into channels 51 through 60, and so on.
• Put the frequency that you listen to the most or the most
important frequency into a Priority channel.
• To quickly program a series of channels, start with the
lowest number channel.
For example, when you are programming five new
frequencies into channels 4 through 8, start with channel
4. After you finish programming a channel, rotate the VFO
up to go to the next higher channel.
• Write down your programmed channels and frequencies
and put them in a convenient place in case of accidental
reprogramming.
• Frequencies are rounded off according to the step of each
channel.
• When you are overwriting a tagged channel with a new
frequency, the previous alpha tag will be deleted. You must
re-enter the alpha tag.
• When programming frequencies, a 2 second delay is set
automatically and can not be changed.
