It's OK Don,there was just a handful so I just re-entered them into the scanner again.I noticed however that when the 780 was in 'scan' mode,it was possible to see the freqs changing on the Computer monitor,whereas on the scanner itself,the screen appears blank except for the word 'Scanning' until it stops on a frequency.Is this normal,can you tell me?
