Scanning Legally
Your receiver covers frequencies used by some different groups including Aircraft communications
and Military operations. Space-operations. Meteorological-Satellite. Space research, Mobile-
satellite.“ is legal to listen to almost every transmission your receiver can receive, however.
there are some transmissions you should never intentionally listen to. These include:
L Telephone conversations (private means of telephone signal transmission).
2. Any scrambled or encrypted transmissions.
According to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (EC PA), you are subject in fines and
possible imprisonment for intentionally listening to, using, or divulging the contents of such a
transmission unless you have the content of a party to the communication (unless such activity is
illegal).
This receiver ha been designed to prevent reception of illegal transmissions. This is done to
comply wifli the legal requirement mat receivers be manufactured so as to not be easily modifiable
to pickup those transmissions. Modifications not authorized by the manufacturer may void user's
authority to operate this device. Doing so could subject you to legal penalties
We encourage responsible, legal receiver use.
Mobile use ofthis receiver is unlawful or requires a permit in some areas. Check the laws in
your area.

Operating Instructions
Manual Frequency Sclertinn
The Air-Srnn‘ V will receive 2.280 Aviation frequencies (I [8.000 MHZ to 142,975 MHZ). lll AM
Frequenciex (530 kHz. to l630 kHz.) ttnd 2!“ PM frequencies (88.0 MHz to 1081’! MHz). The
frequency cnrmntly selected and band it“! always displayed on tho Air-Scan V's screen.
MR
122. 975
From the example above. the Air~Scztn V is receiving 122.975 MHz.
To manually enter a desired frequency, first select the proper band (AMl PM or Aviation) by
pressing the Band key. The current band will be displayed on the tell side of the Air-Scan V's
Wl’fEIL
Once you have fielet‘ted the desired hand. enter the frequency using the numeric keypad,
NOTE: Six digits are aJWays required tn select a frequency
on the Aviation Band
The AirAScrtn V will return to the previous frequency rt” there is a pause of five seconds or more
between key entries while entering a new frequency. The Clear key may be pressed any time prior
to entering the last digit to clear the digits entered and return to the previous frequency.
Any frequency outside of the range of the current hand will not he accepted. The Air-Scan V will
beep when such a digit is entered. For example. starting any frequency selection with rt number
other than t on the Aviation band or attempting to place it 5, 6, 7. 8 ur9 in the second digit on the
Aviation band will result in a heep.
ll
Frequency Search
To manually search through the frequency range of any of the bands (AM, FM or Aviation). the Up
key or Down key may be pressed at any time to select the next higher or lower Frequency. This
uses 10 kHz steps in the AM frequency range, 100 kHz snaps in the FM frequency range and 8.33
kHz steps in the Aviation frequency range. The Up and Dawn keys my be pressed repeatedly in
continue changing the seiecten frequency.
To automatically search the entire frequency range oi the current hand for a broadcasting signal.
the Up key or Down key may be pressed and held for one second. The Screen will display SRCH
as seen below.
an snort
122.975
The frequencies will either tumult up or down depending upon whether the Up or Down key was
used to initiate the search.
When a broadcasting signal is found. the AirAScan‘ V will stop temporarily on that frequency. if
the broadcasting signal is cut off for more than two seconds. the search wiil resume until another
signal is found. When the end of the frequency range is reached during an upward stench, the
search automatically continues senrching at the beginning of the frequency range. Likewise, when
the beginning of the frequency range is reached during a downward seamh, the went-eh
nummatically continues at the end of the frequency range.
The search may be canceled at any time by pressing the Clear key, The direction of the search
may also be reversed at any time by pressing and holding the Up or Down key (whichever is
appropriate) For one second.
NOTE: On the Aviation band it is very important that the squelch
be properly adjusted prior to initiating it search. The
background static received with the squelch off may be
strong enough to disrupt u search. if a search gets ”stuck"
on a frequency with too much background noise. increase
the squelch or press and hold the Up or Down key far one
second to skip that frequency and resume searching.
Freq umcy Memory
The AirAScrm“ V has five memory channels on the Aviation band numbercd l [u 5 to smrc (hose
avialicm frequencies used must often and fur use w‘nh um Aviation Interrupt” femurs.
NOTE: In Avimion lnlerrupl nmde. memury channel 1 has priorily
aver everylhjng, including all other memury channels.
Enter the frequency that is most important to you in memory channel 1.
To sum: 3 fruqucncy, sclecl the Aviation band by pressing the Band key until AIR appears on me
screen. Then select a desired frequency. such as l22.975 to be stored by usin, either manual
frequency selection or frequency search. To store this frsquency, press the Memory key. The
fallowing screen will appear:
The first available mammary channel will be drsplaycd on the screen. In this example. memory
ctmnnel 2 is the firs! available location. meaning that a Frequency is already stored in memory
channel I. To more the frequency. press the Memory key a sect-11d time,
You may also cwcrwrile an existing memory channel or select an available memnry channel other
than me first one displayed. Once again. sclcct the desired frequency on lhc Aviation band and
then press the Mcmnry key.
Now press either tha Up or Down key to scroll through the five memury channels. If a memory
channel is already staring 3 Frequency. mu memory channel number and the stored frequency will
be displayed.

Once the desired memory channel is selected, press the Memory key and the frequency will be
stared. if you are overwriting an existing memory channel. the Air-Scan” V will beep (0 let you
know (ha! a frequency is already stored there. You must push the Memory key a second time to
store the new frequency. Remember, the old frequency will be erased when ynur selected
frequency is stored,
Ynu may exit the memory function by pressing the Clear key any time prior tn storing the
frequency (pressing the Memory key the second time).
Memury Recall
To recall a frequency stared in a memnry channEI, select the Aviation band by pressing the Band
key until AIR appears in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. Then press the Recall key. The
memnry channel number and the corresponding frequency of the first memory channel that is
being used will be displayed. This frequency immediately becomes the active frequency and is
received by the Air~Scan V.
in this example, memory channel 2 is listed first, meaning that no frequency is currently being
stared in memory channel 1.
m1 mu
2 122 . 975
At this point you may select any stored niematy channel by pressing the Up or Down key to scroll
through the stored fmqucncies. For example to receive memory channel 5 you may:
1. Press the Recall key followed by the Up or Down key to scroll In 5.
Once in the Recall mode the Air~Scan’ V stays in Recall until the Clear key is pressed, This
allows yen to sequence your frequencies in the order you may wish tn use them For example, you
may wish to More your airport's Unicorn in memory l, Clearance Delivery in 2, Ground Comm! in
3, aner in 4 and Departure Central in 5. For this example you would press the Recall key once
followed by the Up key for every frequency change instead of having to enter each
frequency manually:
While in the Recall made the only entries accepted urc cntries between I and 5. the Up or Down
key, the Clear key or the Light kcyl All other inputs cause the Air~Scan V to beep. Remember.
ynu may press the Clear key at any time to melt the Recall mode, Once you have left the, Recall
made. the Air-Scan V’ will remain on the last frequency that was being received.
Memory Scan
The Memory Scan function is very similar to the Search function, except it only scans those
aviation frequencies stored m the memory channelt. To start the memory channels~ select the
Aviation band tpreas the Band key until AIR appcztn on the scream then press the Recall key to
enter the Recall mode. Then prest; and hold the Up (lt‘ Dawn key for one xccond to initiate either
an upward fir downward scan. The ward SCAN will appear on the top line of the screen and the
