Radio wont do freq 159.2775

It may be that the freq entered or programmed into it is beyond the expected range of that radio. Need more specific details. Usually probs of this nature involve a voltage controlled oscillator whos voltage varies according to the freq. It needs to be within a certain voltage range between the lowest and highest programmed freqs....if not the unlock message appears. Look up the radio on the net and determine if you have programmed it with the freqs it was designed to operate on.... first. Is it UHF or VHF?

Hello, please tell me what you were doing before and at the time of change. Were the digit lights recently switched? Please give me a little more information so I can be more specific in my answer. Thank you.

This is not a CB problem. You are talking about a scanner. Sorry, I can't help you. Move your request to the proper category.

I have searched like crazy and cannot get you a specific answer. I found the Manual for sale on eBay in PDF format.

For $5 it might be worth it.

For all of your scanner needs: ScannerMaster

Here is the link to all Uniden scanner manuals:

Also, you can find the frequencies for your area at www.radioreference.com.

Good luck!

Mark, are you hearing anybody talking when it stops on that frequency or is it just silent or noise?

Just select the channel you want to reprogram and enter the new frequency.. It will overwrite (replace) the old frequency.

1) Are you allowed to be on the Freq?
1a) if no, BUY A SCANNER!!! Having a transmitter on a law enforcement freq without permission/license WILL get you arrested
1b) If yes, take it to the radio shop for the PD and have them program it for you

2) Are they transmitting with digital encryption?
2a) If yes, you wont hear them
2b) if no, are you sure you have the right freq programmed, dont have the wrong PL installed, etc.

3) Is your radio within the freq range they are on?
3a) if no, get a SCANNER if you just want to listen.
3b) if yes, see #2 above

If you just want to listen to the cop shop and are NOT a law enforcement officer (based on you posting here I suspect you are not) then do yourself a favor and BUY A SCANNER..

I am not familar with that model scanner but all the uniden radios I have used have direct freq entry......Hit manual button, select what channel you wish to enter it in, hit manual again. Enter the freq desired, then hit enter. That should enter the freq in that channel space. Hit enter again to go to the next channel for programming. Hope this helps.

Hi, using the manual button, step to channel 1 and enter your freq. including the point then press the E button. You might have to step to the next channel using the manual button again. Enter the next freq. and repeat. WX is the weather bands. Lockout is for locking out a nuisance channel(as an example, if someone's mic stays keyed, and keeps the squelch open).Priority is for any channel whose conversations you don't want to miss, just press the button for the specific channel. That way any time someone keys up on your priority channel, even if it's on another channel talking, will go right to the priority one. Review gives you a readout of the freq you programmed into a specific channel. If you need new or extra freq's check here on this site.
