PRO-92 Tutorial: How to Assign a Text Tag to a Channel

This is an introduction to assigning a text tag to a channel on your PRO-92 scanner.

Text is entered using the number pad. To enter a letter, you first select the letter group (such as 7 for PQRS), then press the number which corresponds to the letter's place in sequence (P=1,Q=2,R=3, S=4). Use FUNC to change to lower case.  This tutorial uses the example text "Demo #1".
