Are you interested in scanning your local police station, state police, EMS, or other frequencies? The UV 5R V2 Plus scanner can help you do just that. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to manually set up your scanner and enter your desired frequencies quickly and easily.
First things first, we need to set the scanner back to manual default settings. To do this, go to menu and select 0. Then, reset all by selecting yes, yes, and yes.
The scanner will be in Chinese, but don’t worry! We’ll change the language to English next. Go back to menu and select 1 for voice. Scroll down to English and select it. Save it by selecting 2.
Now we’re ready to manually set up our frequencies. Push VFW BFO until you hear frequency mode. Enter your desired frequency number. For example, if you want to listen to your local police station, enter 155190. Then, push menu and select 27 for memory channel. Choose which channel you want it on and save it by selecting menu.
We can save multiple channels by repeating the same steps. For example, to save the local EMS frequency of 154025, enter it in and save it to channel 2. To save the state police frequency of 155565, enter it in and save it to channel 3.
Once you’ve saved all the channels you want, switch to channel mode by pushing VFW BFO until you hear channel mode. Now we’re ready to scan and see which channels we’ve saved. Push the star button and hold it to ask.
We’ll see which channels are saved and delete any channels we don’t want to scan. For example, if we never programmed channel 127, we can delete it by going to menu and selecting 28 for delete channel. Choose channel 127 and delete it.
Now, we’re ready to scan! Push the star button to start scanning the channels you’ve manually set up.
