Public safety groups, including police, use a collection of frequencies that are grouped together in "systems."
Although termed "Police Scanners," Uniden scanners can pick up many different types of public safety radio communications, including fire, medics, road workers and more. Many public safety groups, including the police, use their own ranges of frequencies that are grouped together in "systems." Conventional and other systems can be programmed into Uniden scanners. Programming a Uniden Police Scanner can be accomplished by following just a few steps.
Instructions
1. Enter the Uniden scanner's Program System menu and choose "New System." The scanner will ask you for the type of system. For example, choose "Conventional." Confirm by tapping "Yes." The scanner will create a default name for the system.
2. From the Program System menu, choose the System you created in the previous step, then, from the "Edit Group" menu, choose "New Group." The scanner will create a Channel Group. On a Conventional System you need at least one Channel Group, but can have more.
3. From the "Edit Group" menu, choose the Channel Group that you created in the earlier step and choose "New Channel," then enter the frequency in MHz. This will create a channel (frequency) in the group; you need at least one. The Uniden Police Scanner will be programmed with the first frequency.
4. Continue to enter frequencies in MHz using the same procedure as in the previous steps. Remember that the frequencies are entered in the specific Channel Groups. Make specific system-recommended changes to tone coding, offsets and other optional attributes by choosing "Edit Frequency."
