PRO-96 (200-0526) Tutorial: How to Load From a V-Scanner Folder to the Working Memory

This tutorial will show you how to load a V-Scanner folder to the working memory. The Pro-96 contains ten pre-programmed V-Scanner (Virtual Scanner) folders "0-9" and one scratchpad folder "#". Folders 0-9 can be used to store scanner configurations and can be recalled for future use. The scratchpad folder # is a temporary folder, used to temporarily hold working memory contents while managing the V-Scanner memory. The Pro-96 comes with pre-loaded frequencies and IDs for the top 100 trunking radio systems in the U.S.
