Pro-2052: How to Manually Store IDs into Scan Lists

In this tutorial, you will be shown how to manually store IDs into scan lists. When you program trunked frequencies into a bank, your scanner sets up 5 scan lists into which you can store your favorite IDs. Each list can contain up to 10 IDs, so you can store a total of 50 IDs for each trunk scanning bank (1000 IDs if you use all banks as trunking banks). Scan lists help you organize trunking system users into categories. For example, you might use List 1 for police IDs, List 2 for fire department IDs, List 3 for emergency medical service IDs, and so on. Once IDs are stored in lists, you can scan them like you scan conventional channels. You can program IDs into scan lists manually, during a search or automatically.
