adjustable (Low, Mid, Sensitive) representing when the gate will open.
§ The lower the squelch setting the more noise that will get through. If a particular
frequency is hard to hear or is getting cutoff attempt to adjust the squelch level:

methods:
a. Method #1 (Track Programming Broadcasts): Track programming broadcasts are
radio transmission that are broadcasted at the track. They contain race series driver
channel information. When the scanner is set to RECEIVE AIR WAVE, programming
transmissions are automatically download into the scanner. This is the preferred and
fastest method of updating the scanner with the latest track/driver frequencies, names,
codes and channel numbers.

easy and intuitive. For example:
NEXTEL Cup channel 24 is assigned to car number 24
and channel number 01 is assigned to car number 01. Bush Series channel 24 is
assigned to car number 24 and channel number 01 is assigned to car number 01. This
