Hi All
I am a newbie at this and have just bought the 93xlt scanner. I wanted to be able to monitor fesa channels but am finding that I cannot program some of the. For example channel 80 80.4300 keeps coming up as 80.425. Is there any way around this as my instructions say this range goes in increments of 12.5khz or have I just bought the wrong scanner for the job? If so, can anyone recommend a good handheld that will do the job so I can take this back.
Many Thanks

Greetings, Channel 80 on the old FESA network is 78.4125 not 80.430.
Punch that in (select any free scanner channel, hit function the PGM and enter in then enter) and off you go. That scanner is perfectly fine for this application.

Thanks Yorky
I tried that but it only lets me enter 78.412 - is that enough? Also do you know where I can get a list with the channels and associated frequencies that is accurate, the one I got from another page on this forum was where it had the original frequency - 80.4300.
Many thanks
Bob

Can you please link to where you saw 80.430? That is a FESA frequency however in Bunbury.

Welcome,
Once in the programming mode, enter 78.4125 and you'll see that a small '50' appears to the right of screen. Save it, and then when you scan/select the channel, it reads it as 78.4125.
FESA Frequencies can be found here:
