ICOM ICR5 Scanner Programming problems

[DarkStar]

Does anyone else have one great little scanners? If so, how on earth did you program the frequencies into it? I've read the instructions over and over again, but I cannot get a set of frequencies put into the machine. Can anyone assist?:ugh: :rolleyes: :(

Thanks Pprune Dispatcher - I've got the manual and its a MENSA exercise to understand. I suppose I'm after a 'laymans' view of how its done. Do appreciate your help though...:)

How about this?

About half-way down, read the paragraph that starts
"I have to be really honest here and admit that I found it very hard going to program this scanner at first. " :}

(I wish I hadn't started researching this... I'm soooo tempted to upgrade my ancient AR 1500 to an icom icr-20...)
