FEATURES
Thank you for purchasing your PSR-400 1,000 channel triple trunking
Base/Mobile scanner. Your Base/Mobile scanner is one of a new generation of scanners designed to track Motorola Type I and II (such as
Smartnet and Privacy Plus) and hybrid analog trunking systems, GEEricsson (EDACS) type systems, and E.F. Johnson (LTR) type systems which are extensively used in many communication systems.
Triple Trunking Operation – tracks three trunking systems (Motorola,
EDACS, and LTR) and conventional systems at the same time.
10-Channel Storage Banks – let you store 100 channels in each bank
(total 1,000 channels) to group channels so calls are easier to identify.
SAME/FIPS Weather Alert – displays the weather event for the specific cities or counties you choose so you can hear the alert tone.
Data Cloning – lets you transfer the programmed data to another
PSR-400/300 scanner. You can also upload or download the programmed data to or from a PC using an optional USB Scanner/PC
Interface cable.
16-Character, 4-Line Alphanumeric Display – shows you detailed
operating information clearly.
Spectrum Sweeper – a powerful new tool for you to rapidly detect,
monitor and store frequencies for nearby radio transmissions.
Preprogrammed Frequency Ranges – lets you search for transmissions within preset frequency ranges or within ranges you set, to reduce search time and select interesting frequencies more quickly.
High-Speed Scan/Search – the scanner scans at up to 60 channels
per second and searches up to 78 frequencies per second, to help
you quickly find transmissions.
Priority Channel – lets you set the scanner to check one channel
every 2 seconds so you do not miss transmissions.
Attenuate – let you program your scanner to reduce the scanner’s
sensitivity to strong local signals, to reduce interference or noise caused
by these signals.
5
Text Input – lets you input a text label for each channel, talk group ID,
or bank so you can easily identify the transmission.
Lock Out Function – lets you set your scanner to skip over specified
channels or frequencies when scanning or searching, and skip over
IDs when tracking trunked systems.
Supplied Telescopic Antenna with BNC Connector – provides good
reception of strong local signals. You can connect an external antenna
with a BNC connector to the scanner for improved reception of distant/weaker signals.
Memory Backup – keeps the frequencies stored in memory for an
extended time even without batteries.
Mobile Operation – use supplied mount bracket on (or under) the
dashboard, or optional DIN-E sleeve for in-dash mount.
Tow Power Options – you can power the scanner from AC or DC
power (using a supplied AC adaptor or supplied DC cable).
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a scanning receiver, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
6
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Scanning Legally
Your scanner covers frequencies used by many different groups including police and fire departments, ambulance services, government
agencies, private companies, amateur radio, military operations, pager
services, and wireline (telephone and telegraph) service providers. It
is legal to listen to almost every transmission your scanner can receive. However, there are some transmissions you should never intentionally listen to. These include:
• Telephone conversations (cellular, cordless, or other private means
of telephone signal transmission)
• Pager transmissions
• Any scrambled or encrypted transmissions
According to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), you
are subject to fines and possible imprisonment for intentionally listening to, using, or divulging the contents of such a transmission unless
you have the consent of a party to the communication (unless such
activity is otherwise illegal).
This scanner has been designed to prevent reception of illegal transmissions. This is done to comply with the legal requirement that scanners be manufactured so as to not be easily modifiable to pick up
those transmissions. Do not open your scanner’s case to make any
modifications that could allow it to pick up transmissions that are illegal to monitor. Doing so could subject you to legal penalties.
We encourage responsible, legal scanner use.
In some areas, mobile use of this scanner is unlawful or requires a
permit. Check the laws in your area. It is also illegal in many areas to
interfere with the duties of public safety officials by traveling to the
scene of an incident without authorization.

PREPARATION
Installing Your Scanner
You can mount your trunking scanner in your vehicle, install it for mobility, or install it as a base station.
If you use optional DIN-E sleeve, you can install your scanner into
vehicle’s dashboard. Please refer to our web site (
www.greamerica.com) for details.
Using Mount Bracket
You can place your scanner on a desk, shelf, or table to use it as a
base station. Because the speaker is on the bottom of the scanner,
you can use the mounting bracket to elevate your scanner off the
surface for better sound.
To use the scanner on a flat surface:
1. Attach the three rubber feet to the mounting bracket. Do not use
them if you are mounting the bracket with screws.
2. Slide the scanner into the bracket, aligning the scanner’s side holes
with the holes in the bracket, and then screw the mounting knobs
into the scanner.
To use the scanner into vehicle:
You can mount your scanner under or on top of the dashboard a desk,
shelf, table or other flat surface, using the mounting bracket.
1. Use the supplied mounting bracket as a template to mark positions for the two mounting screws.
2. At the marked positions, drill holes slightly smaller than the screws.
When drilling holes, avoid obstructions behind the mounting surface.
3. Remove the paper backing from each washer and stick one inside
of each brecket’s ear, aligning the washer’s hole with the bracket’s
hole.

4. Attach the mounting bracket to your vehicle’s surface using the
supplied screws and lockwashers.
Power Your Scanner
You can power your scanner from a wall outlet, through your vehicle’s
ignition, or from your vehicle’s cigarette lighter.
From a Wall Outlet
1. Connect the tip of the supplied AC adaptor to the DC 13.8V jack at
the rear of your scanner.
2. Plug the AC adaptor into your wall outlet.
Note: You must use a supplied AC adaptor.
WARNING: To prevent electric shock, do not use the AC adaptor’s
polarized plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet
unless you can fully insert the blades to prevent blade exposure.
CAUTION: The correct orientation for the enclosed power adaptor is
in a vertical or floor-mount position.
9
Through Your Vehicle’s Ignition
1. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) terminal of your vehicle’s
battery.
Caution: When the battery is removed for the vehicle with the keyless entry system and/or theft device, it might cause the breakdown.
2. Ground the black wire of the supplied DC power cord to your
vehicle’s chassis.
Note: Be sure the grounding screw makes complete contact with the
metal frame of your vehicle.
3. Connect the red wire of the supplied DC power cord to a voltage
source that turns on and off with the ignition switch, such as a
spare accessory terminal in your vehicle’s fuse box.
4. Insert the power cord’s barrel plug into the scanner’s DC 13.8V
jack.
5. Reconnect the cable to the negative (-) terminal of your vehicle’s
battery.
From Your Vehicle’s Cigarette Lighter
To power your scanner from a 12V power source in your vehicle, such
as cigarette-lighter socket, you need a 12V, at least 600mA DC with
4.75mm outer/1.7mm inner plug cigarette-lighter adaptor (not sup-
plied).
1. Insert the adaptor’s barrel plug into the scanner’s DC 13.8V jack.
2. Plug the adaptor’s other end into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter or
power socket.
Notes:
• You must use a power source that supplies 12V DC and delivers at
least 600mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must
fit the scanner’s DC 13.8V jack. Using a DC adaptor that does not
meet these specifications could damage the scanner or the adaptor.
10
• When you use a cigarette-lighter adaptor, you might hear electrical
noise from your engine while scanning. This is normal.
CONNECTING THE SUPPLIED ANTENNA
Push the antenna onto your scanner’s antenna connector located on
the rear panel and rotate until it locks into place.
Your scanner’s sensitivity to various frequencies depends on its location and the antenna’s length. For best reception, adjust the antenna’s
length as follows:
Frequency Antenna Length
25-54 MHz Extend fully
108-174 MHz Extend 4 segments
216-225 MHz Extend 3 segments
225-406 MHz Extend 2 segments
406-1300 MHz Collapse fully
Connecting an Outdoor Antenna
You will need to connect an external antenna when you mount your
scanner in the dashboard of your vehicle. You may also want to connect an external antenna if you use your scanner as a base station.
Always use 50 Ohm coaxial cable, such as RG-58 or RG-8, to connect an outdoor antenna. For lengths over 50 feet, use RG-8 low-loss
dielectric coaxial cable. If the antenna cable’s connector does not have
a BNC connector, you will also need a BNC adapter.
Follow the installation instructions supplied with the antenna, route
the antenna cable to the scanner, then connect it to the antenna jack.
Warning: Use extreme caution when you installing or removing
an outdoor antenna. If the antenna starts to fall, let it go! It could
contact overhead power lines. If the antenna touches a power
line, contact with the antenna, mast, cable, or guy wires can cause
electrocution and death. Call the power company to remove the
antenna. DO NOT attempt to do so yourself.
11
CONNECTING AN EARPHONE/HEADPHONES
For private listening, you can plug an 1/8 -inch (3.5-mm) mini-plug
earphone or headphones (not supplied), into the jack on the front
panel. This automatically disconnects the internal speaker.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use an earphone or headphones.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening.
After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears
adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause
discomfort might still damage your hearing.
Traffic Safety
Do not wear an earphone or headphones with your scanner when
operating a motor vehicle in or near traffic. Doing so can create a
traffic hazard and could be illegal in some areas.
12
CONNECTING AN EXTENSION SPEAKER
In a noisy area or you install the scanner into dashboard, extension
speaker (not supplied) might provide more comfortable listening. Plug
the speaker cable’s 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) mini-plug into your scanner’s
EXT-SP jack on the rear panel.
TRANSFERRING DATA TO OR FROM
ANOTHER SCANNER OR PC
You can transfer the programmed data to and from another PSR-400
(or PSR-300) scanner using a connecting cable which has 1/8-inch
stereo (TRS) phone plugs on both ends (not supplied). Connect the
cable between each scanner’s PC/IF jacks. See “Cloning the Programmed Data”. You can also upload or download the programmed
data to or from a PC using USB Scanner/PC Interface cable and application software.

QUICK START
To help familiarize yourself with the scanner’s functions, keypad, and
available frequencies, you can utilize one of these four features before
you begin programming the scanner.
Spectrum Sweeper – searches nearby strong signals quickly. See
“Spectrum Sweeper”.
Preprogrammed Search Banks – allow you to listen to frequencies
and decide which frequencies you want to store when you are ready
to program the scanner. See “Searching a Preprogrammed Frequency
Range”.
Manual Tuning – allows you to manually move through the entire range
of available frequencies. (See “Specifications” for a list of the available
frequency ranges.)
Weather Radio – allows you to listen to NOAA weather broadcasts
without programming. See “Listening to the Weather Band”.
Understanding Your Scanner’s Modes
You can program each channel with any of seven receive modes (AM,
FM, CT, DC, MO, ED, and LT).
Each receive mode affects how your scanner operates when scanning and receiving transmissions.
Notes:
• Trunked modes (MO, ED, and LT) can only be selected for frequencies above 137 MHz.
• Your scanner’s closed mode lets you hear only those trunking
talkgroups you specify. For more information, see “Open and Closed
Modes”.
16
AM mode
The AM mode sets the scanner to receive transmissions using amplitude modulation (AM), primarily used for aircraft, military, some amateur radio, and some government transmissions. When the scanner
receives a transmission on a channel set to the AM mode, it always
stops on the transmission.
FM mode
The FM mode sets the scanner to receive transmissions using frequency modulation (FM), used for most public safety transmissions,
as well as broadcast, business, and amateur radio transmissions. When
the scanner receives a transmission on a channel set to the FM mode,
it always stops on the transmission.
CTCSS (CT) mode
CTCSS mode sets the scanner to receive transmissions using frequency modulation (FM) with Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS) subaudible tone codes. CTCSS allows multiple users to
share a single radio frequency without hearing each other’s transmissions. In your PSR-400 scanner, the CTCSS feature can be used to
block the reception of transmissions on shared channel to only those
that use the CTCSS mode also features a Code Search setting that
allows you to instantly display and store unknown codes into the channel memory. CTCSS tones can sometimes be heard as a low “hum” in
the background of a voice transmission.
DCS (DC) mode
DCS mode sets the scanner to receive transmissions using frequency
modulation (FM) with Digital Coded Squelch (DCS) subaudible data
signaling. DCS is very similar to CTCSS, except that a digital code is
transmitted instead of an audio tone. Like CTCSS, DCS allows multiple users to share a single radio frequency without hearing each
other’s transmissions. In your PSR-400 scanner, the DCS feature can
be used to block the reception of transmissions on a shared channel
to only those that use the DCS tone that you have specified. DCS
17
mode also features a Code Search setting that allows you to instantly
display and store unknown codes into the channel memory. DCS data
can sometimes be heard as a low “purring” sound in the background
of a voice transmission. Some DCS systems transmit a special “turn
off code” at the end of each transmission. The turn off code causes a
properly equipped receiver to mute before the transmission ends, eliminating the “squelch tail” burst of noise the commonly occurs when
the signal is lost.
Motorola mode
You can set your scanner so it decodes the talk group IDs used with
Motorola trunking systems. This setting is called the Motorola mode.
Motorola systems are trunking systems used primarily by business
and public safety groups to efficiently allocate a small number of frequencies (as few as five) to many groups of users (as many as several
thousand). To do this, each group of users in the system is assigned
to a specific talkgroup. For example, the east side patrol officers might
all be assigned to talkgroup 2160. One channel in the system is continuously transmitting data that identifies which talkgroups are active
on which channel. In addition, this talkgroup information is also transmitted as subaudible data on each active channel.
When the scanner receives a transmission on a channel set to the
Motorola mode, it first decodes the talkgroup ID data included with
the transmission. In the open mode, the scanner stops on the transmission and displays the talkgroup ID on the bottom line of the display. In the closed mode, the scanner only stops on the transmission
if the talkgroup ID matches a talkgroup ID that you have stored in the
bank’s talkgroup ID list and have not locked out.
Motorola trunking systems come in three categories: Type I, Type II,
and Type I/II Hybrid. Each category displays and uses talkgroup IDs
in slightly different ways.
Motorola Type II IDs are in the form FFF-SS, where;
FFF=Fleet ID
SS=Subfleet ID
18
Type I systems are usually organized with different user groups assigned to different fleets.
Notes:
• For example, a valid fleet-subfleet ID identifying all detectives within
a police department might be 000-12, where 000 identifies all police users and 12 identifies the detective division.
• Tuning the scanner to an active control channel while in Motorola
mode will display the Motorola System. ID and the approximate
control channel message decode success rate. This information
can help you identify the Motorola trunking system that you are
monitoring and the receive quality of the control channel signal.
To properly map the raw Type I data to the correct fleet-subfleet format, you must program the correct fleet map into the scanner. Fleet
map information is widely available on the Internet for most Type I
systems in use.
Type II system talkgroups are identified by a 5-digit number. Valid
talkgroup IDs are divisible by 16. If you try to enter an invalid talkgroup
ID, the scanner rounds the ID down to the next valid ID.
Type I/II hybrid systems use both fleet-subfleet and 5-digit formats for
talkgroup IDs.
Note: If the scanner stays manual mode and decodes control channel data while receiving transmissions from a Motorola trunking system, Control XX% or ID number appears on the bottom line of the
display.
EDACS mode
You can set your scanner so it decodes the talkgroup IDs used with
EDACS (invented by GE/Ericsson) trunking systems. This setting is
called the EDACS mode.
EDACS systems are trunking systems used primarily by business or
private communications service providers, as well as by some public
safety organizations. EDACS systems transmit active talkgroup information only on a dedicated control channel.
19
EDACS frequencies are organized in a specific order. Each frequency
is assigned a Logical Channel Number (LCN). For the scanner to correctly switch to an active frequency, you must program the frequencies in LCN order, starting with Memory 01. EDACS talkgroup IDs are
entered as a 4-digit decimal number from 0001 to 2047 or AFS (Agency
Fleet Subfleet) number from 00-001 to 15-157.
When there is activity on an EDACS system, that information is sent
out on the control channel. The scanner decodes the ID for the active
talkgroup. In the open mode, the scanner then goes to the transmission and displays the talkgroup ID on the bottom line of the display. In
the closed mode, the scanner only goes to transmissions with IDs
that match talk group IDs you have stored in the bank’s talk group ID
list which are not locked out.
Because EDACS scanning requires clear reception of the control channel at all times, EDACS systems tend to have a smaller usable area.
An external antenna can greatly improve EDACS scanning in a fringe
area. If you are having trouble scanning an EDACS system, try manually selecting the data channel. If you are getting good reception, the
scanner will indicate talkgroup CTL-XX or ID number. Try changing
your location or using an outdoor antenna to improve reception.
LTR mode
You can set your scanner so it decodes the talkgroup IDs used with
LTR systems. This setting is called the LTR mode.
LTR frequencies are organized in a specific order. Each frequency is
assigned a Home Repeater Number (HR). For the scanner to correctly
switch to an active frequency, you must program the frequencies in
HR order, starting with Memory X01 in the selected bank.
Your PSR-400 scanner features a new tool to help you determine the
correct channel mapping for LTR system frequencies. The scanner’s
LTR Repeater Finder displays the current Home Repeater when monitoring LTR transmissions in manual mode.
20
To determine the correct Home Repeater programming, enter the system channels of an LTR system in any order. Be sure to program the
mode for each LTR channel to LT. Listen to each channel one at a time
in manual mode and watch for the decoded LTR data at the bottom of
the scanner’s display. When an LTR transmission occurs, you should
see the LTR talkgroup information on the bottom line of the display,
and a number preceded by “R” in the bottom right hand corner (i.e.,
R12). The “R” number is the Home Repeater number that the current
transmission is occurring on. To correctly program this Home Repeater
number into your scanner, be sure that the channel number in the
bank is equal to the number that is displayed after the “R”. For example, if you see R12 displayed on a particular LTR frequency, that
frequency needs to be programmed into Channel 12 of the current
bank in order to track the LTR system activity properly.
LTR systems are trunking systems used primarily by business or private communications service providers, such as taxicabs, delivery
trucks, and repair services. These systems encode all trunking information as digital subaudible data that accompanies each transmission. Users on an LTR system are assigned to specific talkgroups,
which are identified by the radio as six-digit numbers. These numbers
are in the form AHHUUU, where:
A=Area code (0 or 1)
H=Home repeater (01 through 20)
U=User ID (000 through 254)
When the scanner receives a transmission on a channel set to the LTR
mode, it first decodes the LTR data included with the transmission. In
the open mode, the scanner stops on the transmission and displays
the talkgroup ID on the bottom line of the display. In the closed mode,
the scanner only stops on the transmission if the LTR data matches a
talkgroup ID that you have stored in the bank’s talkgroup ID list and
have not locked out.
LTR systems are frequently programmed so that each radio has a
unique ID code.
21
Open and Closed Modes
You can set your scanner to change the way it receives signals. These
settings, called open mode and closed mode, affect how the scanner
receives signals from communications systems that use some type
of closed squelch (such as Motorola, EDACS, and LTR systems).
Notes:
• In open mode, you hear all active talkgroups except those you specifically exclude, making it easy to hear everything going on. In
closed mode, you hear only those talkgroups you specify. This
makes it easy to listen only to talkgroups you are interested in and
exclude others.
• When you select a system voice channel manually, any transmission opens squelch, regardless of the current mode.
• When no ID code is programmed into the scanner, it receives the
signal in MO, ED, or LT mode. In open mode, the scanner stops on
any transmission. If the ID is stored, the text tag appears on the
display. Otherwise, the talkgroup ID appears on the display. In
closed mode, the scanner only stops on a transmission if the ID is
stored.
You can set each of the scanner’s channel storage banks to open or
closed mode.
In open mode, the scanner scans signals transmitted in all systems.
The scanner stops on any ID code and only uses the ID list to look up
ID text tags.
In closed mode, the scanner stops only on signals that have an ID
code which is found in the ID list for the bank. Also, the scanner scans
signals transmitted only under the following conditions:
22
• When the signals are in the FM, or AM mode.
• When the signals are in the CT, or DC mode while these settingis
Code Search setting.
• When the signals are in the CT, or DC mode and the signal’s ID
code matches the programmed ID code.
• When the signals are in the MO, ED, or LT mode and the signal’s ID
code matches the programmed ID code
You can also select the user or talkgroups you want the scanner to
receive in closed mode.
When you set a channel storage bank to open mode, + appears under the bank’s number while scanning. When you set a channel storage bank to closed mode, – appears under the channel storage bank’s
number while scanning. OPEN or CLOSED appears while the scanner is in manual mode or while the scanner is receiving a signal during
scanning. See “Changing the Open/Closed Mode” for more information about setting the open and closed modes.

SETTING UP YOUR SCANNER
Turning on the Scanner and Setting Squelch
1. To turn on the scanner, turn VOL clockwise. Welcome to Scanning Receiver appears. After about 3 seconds, you might hear a
hissing sound. Then adjust VOL to a comfortable level.
2. Turn SQ (squelch) fully counterclockwise, then turn SQ clockwise
until the hissing sound stops.
3. To turn off the scanner, turn VOL counterclockwise to OFF.
Notes:
• The scanner does not scan if there are no frequencies stored in
channels. If the scanner does not scan and you have already stored
frequencies in channels, turn SQ further clockwise.
• If the scanner picks up unwanted, partial, or very weak transmissions, turn SQ clockwise to decrease the scanner’s sensitivity to
these signals. If you want to listen to a weak or distant station, turn
SQ counterclockwise.
• If SQ is adjusted so you always hear a hissing sound, the scanner
will not scan properly.
• To ensure the scanner operates properly while in the trunking mode,
we suggest you set SQ using the steps listed above.
• If SQ is adjusted precisely at the threshold where the hissing sound
stops, the radio will be most sensitive to very weak signals. The
radio may also receive unwanted noise or signals that are too weak
to understand. Most users prefer to position the squelch control a
little bit past the point of threshold to avoid receiving noise or signals that are too weak to understand.
24
Storing Known Frequencies into Channels
Follow these steps to store frequencies into channels.
Notes:
• If you are storing frequencies for an EDACS system, you must store
them in order, with the first frequency in channel 1 for the current
bank. For example, if you want to store frequency of 150.0100,
150.0200, 150.0300, and 150.0400 MHz, you must store them in
Channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively.
• When M appears on the display, you can use FUNC and the arrow
keys to select your desired bank and channel number.
1. Press MAN, enter the bank (0-9) and channel number (00-99) where
you want to store a frequency, then press MAN again. M and the
bank and channel number appear at the 2
play (for example: M000).
Notes:
• Press FUNC. Then press or . The bank number moves in the
direction of the arrow pressed.
• Press FUNC. Then hold down or . The bank number moves
continuously in the assigned direction.
• Press . The channel number moves upward one by one. Or,
press . The channel number moves downward one by one.
2. Press PROG. M changes to P.
3. Use the number keys and •/DELAY to enter the frequency (including the decimal point) you want to store.
If you make a mistake, press CLEAR to delete a single digit or
press and hold CLEAR about 2 seconds to delete all digits.
4. Press ENT to store the frequency into the channel.
Notes:
• If you made a mistake in Step 3, Invalid Freq. briefly appears and
the scanner beeps when you press ENT. Start again from Step 3.
nd

25
• Your scanner automatically rounds the entered frequency to the
nearest valid frequency. For example, if you enter a frequency of
151.553, your scanner accepts it as 151.550.
• All scanners tune by steps. Your scanner uses steps consistent
with the latest US or worldwide standards. If you enter a non-valid
step frequency, any scanner will tune to the next step. Some scanner designs do this without showing the correct step in the display.
This scanner will show the actual tuned frequency in the display.
Because steps are so close together, the audio quality will not be
affected by the offset.
• After a transmission, the scanner automatically pauses for 2 seconds on this channel before proceeding to the next active transmission. Press •/DELAY to turn the delay function off or on. See
“Using Delay”. The scanner stores this setting in the channel.
• If you try to enter a frequency which is already stored in the same
bank, the scanner sounds the notice tone 3 times after you press
ENT. Dupl.Freq. ChXXX appears. If you want to copy the duplicate
frequency anyway, press ENT, or if not, press CLEAR to cancel.
5. If necessary, press MODE to change the receiving mode.
6. If desired, program a text tag for the channel (see “Assigning a Text
Tag to a Channel”).
7. The next channel in sequence is ready for programming. Press
PROG then repeat steps 3 through 6.
CTCSS AND DCS
Your PSR-400 scanner features CTCSS and DCS decoder. CTCSS
and DCS allow you to program frequencies into your scanner that are
used by more than one group in your area and listen only to the group
that is of interest to you by specifying the group’s specific CTCSS or
DCS code. CTCSS and DCS can also help reduce instances where
interfering signals cause your scanner to stop on one channel.
There are two ways you can program your scanner to operate with
CTCSS and DCS. If you know the CTCSS or DCS code that is used
on a particular frequency, you can manually enter the code when you
are programming the scanner, or any time afterwards.
26
You can also set a special search code up that will instantly decode
the CTCSS or DCS code on a received transmission. Channels programmed with the search code will receive all traffic on the channel,
and will instantly decode and display any CTCSS or DCS code that is
found with the transmission. You can then store the found code in the
channel memory with one keystroke.
This section of the manual describes the process for configuring a
memory channel for CTCSS or DCS operation and manually programming known code. For more information on using the CTCSS and
DCS feature while scanning, see “Using CTCSS and DCS”.
To program channel memories for CTCSS or DCS operation, follow
these steps:
1. First, enter a conventional frequency. See “Storing Known Frequencies into Channels”.
2. Once you have entered the frequency, press MODE until the desired mode appears in the 2
nd
line corner of the display. Use CT for
CTCSS, and DC for DCS.
3. By default, the search code (indicated with Code Search in the
bottom of the display) is programmed. To program a specific code,
press FUNC, MODE, and then use the arrow keys to scroll to the
desired CTCSS or DCS code. You can also use the keypad to enter the code manually. Note that the scanner will automatically fill
the code field as you enter the code.
4. Once the desired code is selected, press ENT to store the code in
the channel memory.
5. It is possible to program memory channels for CTCSS or DCS operation at any time. Simply place the scanner in program mode,
navigate to the channel you wish to change, and follow the steps
above.
6. When stopped on an active conventional channel while scanning,
you can press MODE to cycle through the valid modes for that channel, including CTCSS and DCS. This will reset any stored CT or DC
code to the search code, allowing you to easily check for other CT or
DC codes that may be present on the frequency.
27
Note: CTCSS, DCS and digital voice all operate independently of each
other. If a channel is configured for CTCSS or DCS, it will not be able
to decode digital transmissions. Use the FM mode when mixed analog and digital voice reception is desired.

5. You can press FUNC TUNE while the scanner is stopped on a
frequency in MANUAL mode to begin the TUNE function from that
frequency. For example, if the scanner is stopped in MANUAL mode
on channel 144 with frequency 145.31000 MHz, pressing FUNC
TUNE will enter TUNE mode and automatically set the TUNE frequency for 145.31000 MHz.
Note: If you change the receive mode using MODE key, the scanner
shows the receive mode for small caps (ex. fm, am, ct, or dc). If you
want to change the default setting, press FUNC then press MODE.
LISTENING TO THE WEATHER BAND
Your scanner incorporates weather alert as one of its features and is
an extremely sensitive high quality receiver on the weather frequencies. However, the included telescopic antenna is optimized for general purpose scanning. If you use this scanner as your only means for
receiving weather alerts, please check to be sure you are receiving a
clear signal on the telescopic antenna or switch to an external antenna that gives you clear reception of a local NOAA weather broadcast.
The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has allocated channels for use by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA). Regulatory agencies in other countries have also allocated
channels for use by their weather reporting authorities.
NOAA and your local weather reporting authority broadcast your local
forecast and regional weather information on one or more of these
channels.
Listening to a Weather Channel
To hear your local forecast and regional weather information, press
WX. Your scanner scans through the weather band then stops within
a few seconds on the next available weather broadcast.
41
SAME Standby Mode
The National Weather Service precedes each weather alert with a digitally encoded SAME (Specific Area Message Encoding) signal, then a
1050 Hz tone. The SAME signal includes a FIPS (Federal Information
Processing Standard) area code, and an event code that corresponds
with the type of alert being sent. You can configure your scanner to
operate in SAME Standby mode, where it monitors a selected weather
radio station for SAME alerts for areas you specify. You can program
your scanner with up to 10 FIPS codes for the areas you desire. The
National Weather Service maintains a current list of FIPS codes at
http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/.
To configure your scanner for SAME Standby mode, follow these steps:
1. Press WX until you identify the weather station with the strongest
signal for your location.
2. Press FUNC, and then PROG to access the FIPS code entry table.
3. Use the or keys to select the desired FIPS code storage
location.
4. Use the numeric keys to enter the desired FIPS code, and then
press ENT to store the code. Press TEXT to label the code entry
with an alphanumeric text table if desired. Repeat this process for
all the FIPS codes that you wish to store.
5. Press L/OUT to lock out or enable specific FIPS entries.
6. Press WX to exit the FIPS code entry table.
Notes:
• Press WX then a number key to quickly review stored FIPS codes.
Press L/OUT to toggle lockout status.
• Your scanner can also detect the 1050 Hz weather alert tone when
a weather channel is set as the priority channel and weather priority operation is enabled. (see “Priority”). In this mode all alerts are
received. FIPS settings are ignored.
42
• The scanner sounds an alert or beep when it receives the SAME
code. If you do not stop the alert (or beep) for five minutes, the
alert stops and the scanner beeps every ten seconds. If the scanner receives a new message after five minutes, it sounds the alert
or beep. To stop the sound and ready the scanner to receive a new
alert signal before the five minute time out, press any key except
DIM.
• In the SAME mode, if you do not enter the FIPS code, the scanner
displays ALL Codes. In this setting, the scanner receives all alert/
warning messages for receivable areas.
7. Press FUNC, and then WX to initiate SAME standby. The scanner
will monitor the selected weather radio station for alerts with FIPS
codes that match the codes you entered in the FIPS entry table.
Note: The scanner searches the weather frequencies while SAME
standby mode when squelch is off.
To exit SAME standby, press FUNC, and then WX.
WX Alert and Beep Tone Confirmation
1. To test the WX alert, press ENT for more than 2 seconds while
SAME Standby appears.
The display indicates the type of message, and the scanner sounds
an alert or series of beeps. The beeps automatically change every
3 seconds.
2. Press any key except DIM to stop test sound mode.
SKYWARN
Many areas of the country have amateur radio repeaters that have
been designated as “Skywarn” repeaters. During times of severe
weather, these repeaters are used to relay reports of severe weather
directly to meteorologists at a local National Weather Service (NWS)
forecast office. Using the Skywarn feature in your scanner, you can
easily jump to Skywarn repeater frequency and monitor these reports,
in many cases hearing about severe weather in your area instantly as
it occurs.
43
This function lets you quickly move to the skywarn channel (channel
999) from any mode by pressing and holding WX/ about 1 second.
The scanner displays SKY in the third line.

SPECTRUM SWEEPER
Your scanner’s Spectrum Sweeper feature provides a powerful new
tool for you to rapidly detect, monitor and store frequencies for nearby
radio transmissions. The Spectrum Sweeper feature is similar in functionality to portable frequency counters that cost much more than your
scanner, but provides many advantages over typical portable frequency
counters. For example:
The Spectrum Sweeper allows you to sweep the entire range of your
scanner’s design frequencies, or you can specify those frequency
ranges that you wish to sweep and exclude ranges that you do not
want to sweep. This allows you to omit frequency ranges with constant strong frequency activity, such as those with paging or broadcast transmitters. Many portable frequency counters will remain locked
to a nearby constant signal, such as a paging or broadcast transmitter, and will not function properly until you have left the vicinity of the
transmitter.
The Spectrum Sweeper feature is more sensitive than portable frequency counters and will detect transmissions at a greater distance.
You can activate the Attenuator to reduce the sensitivity if desired.
Once an active frequency is found, the transmission is played through
your scanner’s speaker, and you can quickly store it in any of your
scanner’s memory locations.
Using Spectrum Sweeper
Spectrum Sweeper functions when you press and hold for approximately 1 second. The Spectrum Sweeper function can be set to
watch for activity on all band frequencies or PubSafety frequencies
only. To change the all bands to PubSafety or vice versa, press FUNC
then .

PubSafety Band:
Same as Police Fire search band. See Page 36, 37.
You can also turn on/off frequency sub-bands using the corresponding number keys while Spectrum Sweeper is active.
Note: Priority mode is not available while using the Spectrum Sweeper.
Press FUNC then or , you can change the normal Spectrum
Sweeper operation to the Special Spectrum Sweeper operation. In
the Special Spectrum Sweeper operation, Sp. Sweeper appears and
the frequency range is divided by 1 MHz segment. If you lock out 5
frequencies within a 1 MHz segment, the scanner will skip that segment in subsequent sweeps. See “Using Spectrum Sweeper with Lockout” below.
Using Spectrum Sweeper with Lockout
The scanner’s lock out feature can be used to bypass unwanted transmissions while using the Spectrum Sweeper. Press L/OUT when the
scanner is stopped on an undesired transmission. Press FUNC L/
OUT to review or clear locked out frequencies in the Spectrum Sweeper.
You can lock out 150 frequencies while searching all bands and 50
frequencies while searching PubSafety frequencies.
47
Spectrum Sweeper functions by rapidly sweeping through the RF spectrum in 1 MHz segments. If RF signal energy is detected in a 1 MHz
segment, Spectrum Sweeper will sweep through the 1 MHz segment
in finer steps until the source of the RF signal energy is found.
Certain segments of RF spectrum are used by high power transmitters, such as paging transmitters. The Spectrum Sweeper can detect
these transmitters easily, even at great distances due to their high
transmitter output power. You can press L/OUT when the Spectrum
Sweeper stops on these undesired transmissions to prevent the Spectrum Sweeper from stopping on them in future sweeps, however, the
Spectrum Sweeper will still see their RF signal energy when sweeping
through the 1 MHz segment. This will cause the Spectrum Sweeper to
execute another fine step search of the 1 MHz segment. Of course, if
you have locked out the undesired transmissions, the Spectrum
Sweeper will not stop on them again, however, the overall sweep performance of the Spectrum Sweeper will be impacted.
Spectrum Sweeper features a special lockout mode that causes the
scanner to skip a 1 MHz segment if five or more lockouts exist in that
1 MHz segment. To activate this mode, press FUNC while in the
Spectrum Sweeper mode. If a 1 MHz segment contains 5 or more
lockouts it will be skipped entirely while Spectrum Sweeper is sweeping. Use FUNC L/OUT to review or clear locked Spectrum Sweeper
frequencies.
To clear a locked-out frequency, select that frequency, then press
CLEAR.
SCANNING THE CHANNELS
To begin scanning channels or to start scanning again after monitoring a specific channel, press SCAN.
Notes:
• You must store frequencies into channels before the scanner can
scan them. The scanner does not scan through empty channels.
• To change the scanning direction, press or .
• If you watch the transmission, the scanner shows the receiving
frequencies signal level with 5 dots.
48
The scanner scans through all channels (except those you have locked
out) in the active banks (see “Turning Channel-Storage Banks Off and
On” and “Locking Out Channels or Frequencies”).
Turning Channel-Storage Banks Off and On
To turn off banks while scanning, press the bank’s number key so the
bank’s number disappears. For example, to turn off bank 1, press 1.
The scanner does not scan any of the channels within the banks you
turned off.
To turn on banks while scanning, press the number key until the bank’s
number appears. For example to turn bank 1 on again, press 1.
Notes:
• You cannot turn off all banks. There must be at least one active
bank.
• You can manually select any channel in a bank, even if the bank is
turned off.
MONITORING A SINGLE CHANNEL
You can monitor a single channel with your scanner by navigating to
that channel while in manual mode. The scanner will receive traffic on
the selected frequency.
Using CTCSS and DCS
Your scanner’s CTCSS and DCS decoder allows you to listen only to
the group that is of interest to you by specifying the group’s specific
CTCSS or DCS code for a certain frequency. CTCSS and DCS can
also help reduce instances where interfering signals cause your scanner to stop on one channel.
49
When your scanner stops on a conventional frequency that is configured for CTCSS or DCS, it checks for a match between the transmitted and stored codes match, the scanner stops on the transmission
and allows the audio to pass to the speaker. If the codes do not match,
the scanner resumes scan operation. If the special “search” code is in
use, the scanner will instantly display any detected CTCSS code if
programmed for CTCSS mode, or DCS code if programmed for DCS
code. You can store the detected code into the channel memory by
pressing ENT while the code is displayed.
For more information about your scanner’s receive modes, including
CTCSS and DCS, see “Understanding Your Scanner’s Modes”. For
more information on programming memory channels for CTCSS or
DCS operation, see “CTCSS and DCS”.

USING DELAY
Many conversations might have a pause of several seconds between
a query and a reply. To avoid missing a reply, you can program a 2second delay into any of your scanner’s channels. Then, when the
scanner stops on the channel, DLY appears and the scanner contin-
ues to monitor the channel for 2 seconds after the transmission stops
before it resumes scanning. The delay feature is also available while
searching.
Note: Delay is automatically set as the default for each channel when
you turn on the scanner.
To turn delay on or off, press •/DELAY. DLY (delay on) or dly (delay
off) appears on the display.
LOCKING OUT CHANNELS OR
FREQUENCIES
You can scan existing channels or search frequencies faster by locking out channels or frequencies that have a continuous transmission,
such as a weather channel.
Locking Out Channels
To lock out a channel while scanning, press L/OUT when the scanner
stops on the channel. To lock out a channel manually, select the channel then press L/OUT so lo changes to LO on the display.
Note: You can still manually select locked-out channels.
To remove the lockout from a channel, manually select the channel
and press L/OUT so LO changes to lo.
Reviewing Locked-Out Channels
To review all locked out channels, press MAN. Then repeatedly alternate between pressing FUNC and then L/OUT to view each lockedout channel. When you finish reviewing locked-out channels, press
MAN.
51
Locking Out Frequencies
To lock out a frequency during a search, press L/OUT when the scan-
ner stops on that frequency. The scanner locks out the frequency,
then continues searching.
Notes:
• The scanner does not store locked out frequencies during a search.
• You can lock out as many as 50 frequencies in each bank. If you try
to lock out more, L/O Memory Full! appears.
• If you lock out all frequencies in one search bank and only this
search bank is activated, All ranges Locked out! appears and the
scanner does not search.
Reviewing Locked-Out Frequencies
To review the frequencies within a search bank that you locked out:
1. Press SRCH to set search mode.
2. Press FUNC then L/OUT. The locked-out frequency and Lockout
list appear. Press or to review the list. The locked-out number

cies. List cleared. appears for about 2 seconds. Press any key
other than 1 to cancel clear.
PRIORITY
In addition to the 1,000 programmable memory channels, the scanner has one priority channel.
With the priority feature, you can scan through programmed channels
and still not miss an important or interesting transmission on a specific channel. When priority is turned on, the scanner checks that channel every 2 seconds, and stays on the channel if there is activity until
the activity stops.
Notes:
• The priority feature does not operate while the scanner receives a
trunking voice channel or during trunking delay time. Therefore,
the priority check seems random during peak hours.
• If you program a weather channel as the priority channel, the scanner stays in the priority channel only when the scanner detects the
weather alert tone.
• This scanner cannot set a channel as the priority channel if the
channel’s receive mode is MOT, ED, or LTR.
• If you press PAUSE while the scanner receives the priority channel, the scanner displays *** PAUSED *** and stays on the prior-
ity channel even after the transmission finished.
53
To program a frequency in the priority channel:
1. Press MAN.
2. Use the number keys to enter the channel number which contains
the frequency you want to program as the priority channel. Then
press MAN again.
3. Press FUNC then PRI. The display blinks.
To program the priority channel directly:
1. Press PROG.
2. Press PRI.
3. Enter the frequency you want to enter into the priority channel, then
press ENT.

display while scanning. If the scanner detects activity on the priority
channel, Priority Channel appears. Or if the scanner detects a weather
alert tone in Priority WX mode, Priority Channel! appears for 3 seconds then changes to Weather ALERT and the scanner sounds an
alert tone.
Notes:
• Priority WX is only for receiving a weather alert.
• When the scanner detects a 1050 Hz alert tone, priority WX activates and you receive a weather alert.
• If you program a weather frequency into the priority channel and
the scanner detects a weather alert tone on that frequency, the
scanner sounds the alert tone.
To turn off the priority feature, press PRI.
54
CHANGING THE RECEIVE MODE
The scanner is preset to the most common AM or FM receive mode
for each frequency range. The preset mode is correct in most cases.
However, some amateur radio transmissions and trunked systems do
not operate in the preset mode. If you try to listen to a transmission
when the scanner is not set to the correct receive mode, the transmission might sound weak or distorted.
If you want to listen to trunking transmissions in closed mode, you
might have to change the receive mode.
To change the receive mode, repeatedly press MODE. The receive
mode changes as follows:
AM – accesses the AM mode
FM – accesses the FM mode
CT – accesses the FM mode, CTCSS System
DC – accesses the FM mode, DCS System
MO – accesses the FM mode, Motorola Trunking System (with 4- or 5digit ID code)
ED – accesses the FM mode, EDACS Trunking System (with 4-digit
decimal ID code or 5-digit AFS code)
LT – accesses the FM mode, LTR Trunking System (with 6-digit ID
code)
Note: MO (MOT), ED, and LT modes are not available when the scanner tunes up or down through the frequency ranges in which the
trunking operation is not used.
USING DIMMER
Repeatedly press DIM to adjust the brightness of the display backlight to Dark, Light Off, or Light.
55
USING THE ATTENUATOR
To reduce interference or noise caused by strong signals, you can
reduce the scanner’s sensitivity to these signals.
There are two attenuator modes in your scanner. One is normal attenuator mode in which you set the attenuator in each channel or
each band/group in the search and tune mode. The other is global
mode in which you set the attenuator only once. This setting is applied all the time in every mode.
Press ATT to turn on or off the attenuator while the channel number is
indicated or while the scanner is searching through bands/groups.
When the attenuator is on, A appears top line of the display.
When you turn it off, A disappears. You cannot set the attenuator while
the scanner is scanning.
Press FUNC and then ATT to set the attenuator to its global mode.
Global ATT. appears for 2 seconds at the bottom line and G appears.
Press ATT to turn the attenuator on or off. When attenuator is off while
global attenuator mode, A appears on the display.
Press FUNC and then ATT again to turn off the global attenuation
mode. Normal ATT. appears on the bottom line for about 2 seconds,
then G disappears.
Notes:
• Default setting of this scanner’s attenuator is global mode and it is
set to off.
• If you turn on the attenuator, the scanner might not receive weak
signals.
TURINIG THE KEY TONE ON AND OFF

57
TRUNKING
How Trunking Works
The scanner tracks transmissions that use the Motorola Type I and
Type II (such as Smartnet and Privacy Plus) and hybrid analog trunking
systems, plus GE/Ericsson (EDACS) and E.F. Johnson (LTR) type systems extensively used in many communication systems.
Trunking systems allocate a few frequencies to many different users.
When the mobile unit transmits a signal, one frequency is chosen from
among the allocated frequencies in that trunking system. The user’s
ID talk group is sent with the signal.
To receive trunking signals, you must store all the trunking control
frequencies for Motorola systems or all the trunking group frequencies for EDACS and LTR in one bank (see “Storing Known Frequencies into Channels”) and input ID codes in the ID memory (see “Storing Talk Group IDs”).
Your PSR-400 automatically calculates Motorola voice channel frequencies when it decodes the control channel. This eliminates the
need to enter all the Motorola group frequencies.
The control channels are subject to change depending on the day.
Therefore enter all the control frequencies in the same bank. If you do
not know which is the control channel, it is better to enter all the system frequencies into the same bank.
When the scanner decodes the Motorola control channel and finds
the voice channel, the scanner displays the control channel memory
location and the received frequency on the second line, VC (voice
channel) on the third line, the bank and control channel memory location number or channel text on the fourth line and the Motorola ID
number on the bottom line.
Note: To listen to the transmission, the mode of the programmed channel must be the same as that of the trunking channel (MO, ED, or LT).
When an ID code is received, the ID list for the bank is searched, and
if found, the text name stored for the ID appears. If not found, scanning resumes immediately unless the bank is in open trunking mode.
58
Notes:
• There might be more than one talk group transmitting at a time in
some Motorola trunking systems. If you set the scanner to manually tune in Motorola trunking mode, you will hear the talk group on
that channel, but the display will alternate between all active IDs.
• Frequency fleet map and talk group information are also widely
available on the Internet (for example, at
In the past, groups that transmit frequently, such as police departments, could transmit on only a few frequencies. This resulted in heavy
traffic and often required 2-way radio users to wait for a specific frequency to clear before transmitting. Trunked systems allow more
groups of 2-way radio users to use fewer frequencies. Instead of selecting a specific frequency to transmit on, a trunked system chooses
one of several frequencies when the 2-way radio user transmits. The
system automatically transmits the call on that frequency, and also
sends a code that identifies that 2-way radio user’s transmission on a
control channel.
Your scanner lets you easily hear both the call and response transmissions for that 2-way radio user and therefore follow the conversation.
For EDACS and Motorola (above 406 MHz range), the scanner monitors the control channel between each transmission to identify talk
groups. For some Motorola (under 512 MHz range) and LTR systems,
the scanner uses the subaudible data sent with each transmission to
identify talk groups.
www.radioreference.com).
Setting Squelch for Trunking Mode
Your scanner automatically mutes the audio during trunk scanning
when it decodes control channel data. However, we recommend you
turn SQ clockwise and leave it set to a point just after the rushing
sound stops. This lets the scanner quickly acquire the data channel.
59
Programming Trunking Frequencies
You program trunking frequencies the same as non-trunked frequencies, except that you must store the appropriate mode (MO, ED, or
LT) with each frequency.
Notes:
• You can scan only one type of trunked frequency, either EDACS,
Motorola, or LTR in a bank at one time. You can, however, mix conventional channels and frequencies in a bank.
• If you are programming trunked frequencies for Motorola Type I
and hybrid systems, you must first program the fleet map (see “Programming Fleet Maps”).
• If you are programming frequencies for an EDACS system you must
store them in the Logical Channel Number order (usually listed as
LCN#). For example, LCN1 would go into channel 01 for the current bank, and LCN2 would go into channel.02.
• If you are programming frequencies for an LTR system you must
store them in the home repeater order. For example, home repeater
order 1 would go into channel 01 for the current bank, and home
repeater order 2 would go into channel 02.
Follow these steps to program trunked frequencies:
1. Press PROG and select the bank.
Note: To move through the bank selection faster, press PROG then
FUNC and hold down or . To move through the banks one at
a time, repeat the sequence of PROG, FUNC then or until
you reach the desired bank.
2. Press TRUNK to enter the ID program mode.
3. Repeatedly press MODE to select Motorola, EDACS (GE/Ericsson),
or LTR (EF Johnson) system to scan. This sets the talk group ID

Programming Motorola Trunking Systems
(UHF-Lo)
You can program the scanner to receive transmissions in the UHF-Lo
band (406-512 MHz) of the Motorola trunking system. You can receive these transmissions by checking the trunking system’s control
channel. You must program the system’s base frequency and offset
frequency to do this.
Note: Base and offset frequencies vary for each type of trunking system. You can get information about these frequencies for the trunking
system you want to scan using
sources, or locally published guidebooks.
If you try to program an offset frequency in the UHF-Hi bands (806960 MHz), the scanner ignores the entry.

BIRDIE FREQUENCIES
Every scanner has birdie frequencies. Birdies are signals created inside the scanner’s receiver. These operating frequencies might interfere with transmissions on the same frequencies. If you program one
of these frequencies, you hear only noise on that frequency. If the
interference is not severe, you might be able to turn SQ clockwise to
omit the birdie.
To find the birdies in your scanner, begin by disconnecting the antenna and moving it away from the scanner. Make sure that no other
nearby radio or TV sets are turned on near the scanner. Use the search
function and scan every frequency range from its lowest frequency to
the highest. Occasionally, the searching will stops as if it had found a
signal, often without any sound. This is a birdie. Make a list of all the
birdies in your scanner for future reference.
FREQUENCY CONVERSION
The tuning location of a station can be expressed in frequency (kHz or
MHz) or in wavelength (meters). The following information can help
you make the necessary conversions.
1 MHz (million) = 1,000 kHz (thousand)
• To convert MHz to kHz, multiply the number of megahertz by 1,000:
30.62 (MHz) x 1000 = 30,620 kHz
• To convert from kHz to MHz, divide the number of kilohertz by 1,000:
127,800 (kHz) / 1000 = 127.8 MHz
• To convert MHz to meters, divide 300 by the number of megahertz:
300 / 50 MHz = 6 meters
69
INITIALIZING YOUR SCANNER
If the scanner’s display locks up or does not work properly after you
connect a power source, you might need to initialize it.

memory. Initialize the scanner only when you are sure the scanner is
not working properly.
1. Turn off the scanner, then turn it on again. Welcome message appears.
2. Press 0 while Welcome message appears.
3. Press 1.
4. Press ENT. Initializing please stand by. appears for about 5 sec-
onds.
Note: Do not turn off the scanner until the initialization is complete.
When the initialization is complete, M000 appears on the second line
of the display. Bank 0 Ch 00 appears on the fourth line.
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
The scanner is not working at all. What’s wrong?
The AC or DC adaptor might not be connected. Be sure the
adaptor’s barrel plug is fully inserted into the PWR DC 13.8V jack.
The center tip of the adaptor’s barrel plug must be set to positive.
The scanner does not receive any stations or reception is poor.
What’s wrong?
The scanner might need to be initialized. Turn the scanner off then
on again, or initialize the scanner (see “Initializing the Scanner”).
The scanner is on but does not scan. What’s wrong?
The squelch might not be adjusted correctly. Turn SQ clockwise.
There might only be one channel or no channels stored in the scanner. Store frequencies into more than one channel.
70
While scanning, the scanner locks on frequencies that have an
unclear transmission. What’s wrong?
Some frequencies programmed into the scanner might be the same
as “birdie” frequencies. Avoid programming “Birdie Frequencies”
or only listen to them manually.
CARE
Keep the scanner dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use and
store the scanner only in normal temperature environments. Handle
the scanner carefully; do not drop it. Keep the scanner away from
dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it
looking new.
IN CASE OF FAULT
Where a fault arises, contact your supplier. However, before you do so
check that the fault was not caused by an operational error. Carefully
reread the relevant section in the instructions.

GLOSSARY
Frequency – the receiving signal location (expressed in MHz). To find
active frequencies, you can use frequency guides, frequency listings
posted on the Internet, or the built-in search function.
Channels – programmable memory locations for the frequencies you
want to monitor. Each time the scanner finds an active frequency, it
stops and monitors the radio traffic on that channel until the transmission ends, then resumes scanning.
Channel Storage Banks – a storage area for a group of channels.
Channels are storage areas for frequencies. Whereas a channel can
only contain one frequency, a bank can hold numerous channels.
Talkgroup IDs – each channel storage bank has an associated
tralkgroup ID list, for a total of 10 talkgroup ID lists. Each ID list has 5
sub-banks. Each sub-bank has 30 ID locations. You can program up
to 150 talkgroup IDs in each bank, so you can program up to 1500
talkgroup IDs in 10 banks. When the scanner stops on a transmission
in the Motorola or EDACS mode, it checks to see if the ID has been
stored in the associated ID list. In the Closed Mode, the scanner only
stops on the transmission and displays its text tag if you have stored
and not locked out the ID. In the Open Mode, the scanner always
stops on all transmissions except those you specifically exclude, and
displays the ID’s text tag if you have stored the ID. For a detailed description of Open and Closed Mode operation, see “Open and Closed
Mode Operation”.
