I just picked up one of these today from the locat Rat Shack and being
totally new to scanners I am totally confused.
Rat Shack person programmed in all the local frequencies for me so that
has gotten me started off I guess.
The unit seems to be a solid one considering the typical Rat shack stuff
but the manual is a disaster.

I'm finding that it sometimes stalls when scanning on Channel bank 3 or 4
and no amount squelching or button pushing will get it scanning again.
Only locking out Channel bank 3 or 4 will get it going again.

I hope I didn't get a lemon


So I am trying to figure out how to display what frequencies are programed
into these 2 banks and I have yet to find this in the manual.
I'm sure it's there but I am missing it.

Other than that, it seems to work fine and as soon as I figure out how to
use it I'll report back.

I live on L.I as well BTW.
