Throw out everything you know. Dynamic memory is completely different
from anything you're used to. Once you can think
"System-Group-Channel", instead of "Bank-Channel", you'll find it
fairly easy to program.

Download the UASD (the program used to program the scanner) from
Uniden's site now and start setting your systems up. (Use Radio
Reference http://www.radioreference.com/modules.php?name=RR as your
source.)

Find a charger that will charge 3 AA batteries at a time; that's one
of their oversights - most chargers handle 2 or 4. (You can charge
the batteries in the scanner but if a battery fails catastrophically,
would you rather destroy a charger or the scanner?)
