Help!

I have recently got my hands on a RS Pro 2006 scanner. I can program
frequencies in 1-at-a-time, but it takes forever.

I have tried to search for "active frequencies" using the directions in the
manual, but it won't seem to search the Limit assigned bands.

My question is, do I have to program EACH frequencie in, or can I somehow do
a "band search" like my old Sportcat?

Please help?

Rob,

I have done this, but it takes FOREVER to find anything. Is there a way to
just auto search through frequencies, rather than up or dn through each
step?

Thank you! I think I have it now. I am used to just selecting the "band" I
want and pressing search.

Once the limits are programmed in, turn the sq. dn and an arrow (up or dn)
and it scans the limits programmed.

It took a while to figure that one out!

The bands are not pre-programmed, but set a small gap between the high and
low limits. eg 156.000 lower and 164.000 higher will give you a marine
search. The 2006 will select the most appropriate channel spacing for you
but you can change it.
