How do I use the Quick Key function on the SC230?
Yesterday I joined 160,000 of my best friends at Bristol for the night race. I took my new Uniden SC230 and my trusty old Radio Shack PRO-89. Before leaving, I updated freqs on both scanners. Also, I followed the instructions to set up Quick Keys on the SC230 -- go through the menu to a car number, set up a Quick Key for that car. I set up the following Quick Keys: -- MRN-PRN Broadcast: 1 -- Jeff "Squeaky" Gordon: 2 -- Jr: 8 -- Fat Tony: 3 -- Jimmy J.: 4 I thought that all I had to do was hit the Quick Key and the scanner would go to that freq. Wrong. If I hit any of the keys I had set up, all the scanner did was "beep" for an error and keep on scanning. After about 30 minutes, I stuffed the SC230 into my backpack and pulled out the PRO-89 -- because the 230 is too much trouble to tune. For example: -- To go to a car on the 230: CAR(Enter car #)ENTScanner shows a freqENT and the scanner goes to the car freq. THREE button presses plus the car #. -- To go to a car on the PRO-89: CAR(Enter car #)CAR and there it is -- TWO button presses plus the car #. And, if the car # has three digits, all you do is hit CAR(Enter the car #) and the scanner goes to the freq -- ONE button press plus the car number. This is really convenient with MRN-PRN in the scanner as Car #100. Still, the 230 would be much more convenient if all I had to do was press one button -- the Quick Key number -- and recall the car set on that Quick Key. How do I make the Quick Keys recall a freq with a single key press?? Thanks. |
