TWO Powerful New Search Features now included in Scancat-Lite-Plus Software

========== First Feature =================
(Requires MR Scanner FCC (frequency) CD ROMs

Now you can search Mr. Scanner CD's directly from within Scancat-Lite-Plus. Create highly customized, Local Area and Radio Service specific Searches and then load them directly into your radio. All without having to "Export" from the CD.

You can Search within a State for Radio Service frequencies in a single City or Town, or Combinations of Cities/towns. Now, you can create frequency groupings by Towns and Services according to Radio Service Type(s) or Mutual-Aid relationships as an example.

From the ScanCat Lite Plus software screen, Simply Start the Search by:

Pressing F5

If Pressing F5 does not make the "Search Mr Scanner file dialog box then
Click on FILES
        Click on LOAD File
             Click on the 4th option
              "Search in the FILENAME

You have a number of ways of searching
    a. Keyword searches
    b. By Service Codes
            and
    c. Narrow the ''Fields" to be searched

Try as a test entering the Text ''Police''.

This will find all occurrences of that keyword in the STATE you are searching through. This May product a -lot- of "hits", but will provide you with a sample of what to expect.

Click ACCEPT and the search begins.

For this test we typed in the keyword "Police". It found 17 records that contain the word ''Police''.

If you do not get any hits, enter the name of your STATE (IE: "Louisiana"). In Seconds, you will have hundreds of hits for this Search feature. The found frequencies appear in an Upper Grid Display. The "upper database" is sometimes referred to in our Help and Manual as the UPPER database. It is white in background color and has all of the frequencies that you found in a search of the Mr. Scanner CD.

IF you end up with a blank screen, The go back by pressing F5, and in the search box run a test by typing into the search box the two letters of the STATE you are looking in. This will always find a lot of frequencies, more than you want, but will help test that you are using the search functions correctly. Then once you have discovered what you want to search for, follow the instruction on the Search Box.

Basically, you have TWO main choices of how a search is performed

    1. Find a keyword, or a collection of keywords where if ANY of the keywords are found you get a "hit"

    2. Find a collection of keywords where ALL of the keywords must be found in a record in order to get a "hit"

There is a help box directly below the "service code" selection that scrolls and has detailed help on how to type in a search to get the desired result.

          ----------- AND -------------

You can APPEND To the Search Results ....... Additional Towns/Services ; BEFORE saving them to your radio.

SIMPLY Press your F5 Key and the APPEND Search Option Appears.

This way, you can Further Customize your Searches by APPENDING additional Area, Towns/Counties/Cities --- AS Well As by Types of Service within Each Area such as Fire, Police, etc. The result will be a Customized Scanning Selection which might include adjacent Towns and Emergency Services ONLY. The Options here are virtually Unlimited !

Once the frequencies are in the upper database, you can click on one or more frequencies to "select" them. Then use the COPY menu selections to copy/paste the selected frequencies from the Upper into the Lower "Personal file database", and then use the "Load / Read" menu options to store them into your radio.
