About this Manual

The screen displays used in this manual are representations
of what might appear when you use your scanner. Since what
you see depends on the frequencies for your area and the
settings you select, you might notice some differences
between what is in this manual and what appears on your
scanner.
To get the most from this manual, review the contents to
become familiar with the basic functions available. If you are
new to scanning, be sure to read the next chapter for a quick
background on the technology behind the hobby. The first
thing you'll need to do is install batteries in the scanner. Then
you need
scanner. See "Using different kind of Batteries" and "Using
rechargeable Batteries" on page 9 /10 and "Connecting the
Antenna" on page 11 if you need any help doing this.

Understanding Scanning

This section provides you with background on how
scanning works. You don't really need to know all of this to
use your scanner, but some background knowledge will help
you get the most from your AE69-2H.

What is Scanning?

Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most two
way communications do not transmit continuously. Your
AE69-2H scans programmed channels until it finds an active
frequency, then stops on that frequency and remains on
that channel as long as the transmission continues. When
the transmission ends, the scanning cycle resumes until the
scanner receives another transmission.

What is Searching?

The AE69-2H can search for active frequencies. This is
different from scanning because you are searching for
frequencies that have not been programmed into the scanner.
When you select frequency bands to search, the scanner
searches for any active frequency within the lower and upper
limits you specify. When the scanner finds an active
frequency, it stops on that frequency as long as the
transmission lasts. If you think the frequency is interesting,
you can program it into one of the memories. If not, you can
continue to search.

Conventional Scanning

Conventional scanning is a relatively simple concept.
Each group of users in a conventional system is assigned a
single frequency (for simplex systems) or two frequencies (for
