Find em Hot, Leave em Wet
For new or experienced users, getting a new scanner can present alot of challenges, or even things left to be desired. Some may want to program their scanner their own way, or even learn how to program one themselves. The owner's manuals can present some problems in that the language isn't always entirely clear. Not only that, but the owner's manuals usually don't show little tips and tricks that users have picked up along the way. The following posts will detail tips, tricks, guides, documents and manuals for various models of scanners that are in use over the tri-county area.

NOTE: this thread will be completed when I have compiled a list.
