PSR-310 Advanced Handheld Scanning Receiver with Object Oriented User Interface Owner's Manual Please read this User's Guide before installing, setting up and using your new product. Table of Contents will add Introduction Welcome to an exciting new world of radio scanning! Recognizing that contemporary scanning receivers are too hard to program and use, GRE's engineers conducted extensive research to determine the functional requirements for an entirely new scanning receiver user interface.
While we have designed this radio to be the easiest scanning receiver in its class to program and use, we encourage you to read this manual in its entirety so that you will fully understand all of the radio's capabilities. However, if you consider yourself to be an experienced scanning hobbyist and are feeling adventurous, we invite you to dive right in and get started programming your favorite “objects” into the radio.
Multi-System Trunking - Scans most common trunked radio system signaling formats, including Motorola, EDACS, and LTR trunked radio networks. Both talkgroup and individual call monitoring are supported. GRE's Exclusive Digital AGC - instantly compensates for low user audio levels that are very common on digital systems. This makes the radio easier to listen to, and provides you with a more enjoyable scanning experience.
(the Object Oriented User Interface, or OOUI). In Object Oriented Scanning, we introduce the concept of the Scannable Object. A Scannable Object is defined as “something that can be scanned”. The Scannable Object concept is very important in the OOUI design.
We suggest that you keep the following “OOUI Tenets” in mind as you proceed with your study of this manual. If you find yourself confused or stuck about the basics of Object Oriented Scanning, it may be helpful to review this section again. 1. The OOUI memory organization is nothing more than a large list of "Scannable Objects". 2.
TSYS TSYS is used to represent a Trunking System Object. A TSYS is a special object type that is used when creating TGRP objects. A trunking talkgroup must be associated with a specific trunked radio system in order for it to operate. There are parameters that are associated with trunking systems, such as the type of trunked radio system technology used, the frequencies that the system uses to broadcast control data, etc.
for the radio to rapidly sweep a range of radio spectrum for strong signals from nearby transmitters. The FCC Wants You To Know This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a scanning receiver, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
the legal requirement that scanners be manufactured so as to not be easily modifiable to pick up those transmissions. Do not open your scanner's case to make any modifications that could allow it to pick up transmissions that are illegal to monitor. Doing so could subject you to legal penalties. We encourage responsible, legal scanner use. In some areas, mobile use of this scanner is unlawful or requires a permit. Check the laws in your area.
Understanding the Display Icons Your PSR-310 features a high contrast, white backlit Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) to provide important information about the status of the radio while you are programming and using it. The LCD includes a row of icons at the top that provides information about the status of the scanner while it is operating.
Your PSR-310 features an easy-to understand backlit keypad with 34 keys that are used to control and program the radio. Figure 5 highlights the various keys and their basic functions. illust Figure 5 - Keypad layout Softkeys F1, F2, F3 - activate function shown in the LCD display immediately above the softkey. Five Way Pushbutton Pad ^ v < > keys are used for navigation while browsing objects and menus. SEL key activates data entry fields and toggles Scan List selection in object menus.
PSE - Pauses scan or search operation on active object Getting Started First Time Startup We believe that your new PSR-310 is so easy to use that scannists with minimal experience in the hobby should be able to get up and running in a matter of just a few minutes. If you already know the difference between a conventional channel and a talkgroup, or a search range and a Spectrum Sweeper, we invite you to dive right in and set the radio up to begin scanning your first objects.
NiCAD batteries. The radio will charge the batteries when the yellow holder is used in conjunction with the supplied AC adapter or other external 9 VDC power supply rated at 500 mA. If desired, you may use rechargeable batteries in the black holder. They will not be charged while installed in the radio. WARNING: Never place non-rechargeable batteries in the yellow holder. Intentionally or accidentally recharging non-rechargeable batteries will cause them to overheat, leak or explode.
circuit if you are using rechargeable batteries. If you are not using alkaline batteries, you should change the battery type by following these steps: 1. Press the PGM key. 2. Press the F3 key, which should show the label GLOB immediately above it in the LCD display. 3. Press the v nine times, or until the middle line of the display reads Battery:Alkaline. 4. Press the < or > to select the type of batteries that are installed in the radio.
Avoid increasing the volume once you set it. Over time, your sensitivity to a volume level decreases, so volume levels that do not cause discomfort might damage your hearing. Avoid or limit listening at high volume levels. Prolonged exposure to high volume levels can cause permanent hearing loss. Traffic Safety Wearing headphones while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle can create a traffic hazard and is illegal in most areas.
Connecting an External Speaker In a noisy area, an amplified speaker (not supplied) might provide more comfortable listening. Plug the speaker cable's 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) mini-plug into your scanner's HEADPHONE jack. NOTE: You must use an amplified speaker with this scanner. Non-amplified speakers do not provide sufficient volume for comfortable listening. Using the Belt Clip You can use the belt clip attached to the back of the scanner for hands-free carrying when you are on the go.
specifications could damage the scanner or the adaptor. WARNING: Always connect the DC adaptor to the scanner before you connect it to the power source. When you finish, disconnect the adaptor from the power source before you disconnect it from the scanner. To power the scanner using a DC adaptor, connect the plug into the scanner's PWR DC 9V jack. Plug the other end of the DC adaptor into your vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket.
Essential Conventional Channel parameters CONV objects are the simplest objects supported by the radio. By this we mean that there really isn't that much for you to do if you want to create one. There are only a few essential parameters in the CONV object fields that must be set correctly for a CONV object to work. The Frequency must be set to match the frequency of the transmitter you want to scan or monitor, and the MODE should be set to AU, or, if desired, AM, FM or NFM.
very top of the display so you can begin entering information for your first CONV object. HINT: Pressing FUNC ^ or FUNC v will jump to the top or bottom of a menu, respectively.
experiment with the different settings. If you make a change that you aren't certain about, press the Dflt softkey to restore the setting to its original values. When you're ready, simply press the Save softkey to save your new conventional object.
channel or LCN frequencies used by the system, and so on. A detailed description of each type of system supported by this radio and the essential parameters required to make the different types of trunked radio systems work properly is provided in the Detailed Menu Reference. So, if all of this makes sense to you then you should proceed and enter the required data for the system you wish to monitor to make a new TSYS as you create your TGRP.
61M 93Y . 74S 93Y 74S 81T 32E 61M If necessary, use the decimal/period key or the CL key to delete any unnecessary characters, and press the SAVE softkey to save your TSYS name. Next, scroll to the Frequencies: field to begin entering the control channel frequencies for the My System trunked radio system. Press the SEL key, and at the Ch01: field you should enter the first control channel frequency for your Motorola trunked radio system.
take the tag name of ID: Wildcard. HINT: Wildcard objects are easier to find and change later if you include an abbreviated name for the system in the tag field. If you would rather store a TGRP object for a specific talkgroup ID on MySystem, just press the number keys to enter the talkgroup ID of the desired talkgroup, then press the ENT key or the DONE softkey to store the ID. HINT: TGRP objects are also used to receive Private/Individual Calls on trunking systems that support these call types.
same steps above, this time specifying the TSYS that you just created. To create TGRPs on a different system, follow the steps above, specify a NEW system, and provide the correct parameters for that system, as shown above. As a reminder, here are a few important points to remember about monitoring trunked radio systems, and about TGRP objects in particular: With regard to trunked radio systems, it is important to note that a "system" cannot be scanned.
Try using the DUPE feature now to enter a few more CONV and TGRP objects before continuing. You might consider using DUPE on your wildcard TGRP object to make a duplicate, then set the Type to Private, so you'll have a TGRP wildcard for talkgroup calls, and another for private calls. NOTE: Use caution with DUPE. As soon as you press DUPE, a duplicate of the selected object is created and saved in memory. Be certain to delete any DUPEd objects that you create accidentally.
While the scanner is Manual Mode, you can browse through the stored objects in your scanner and select one object to monitor. Use the ^ and v keys on the 5-way pushbutton pad to scroll through the objects assigned to the current Scan List. The > and < keys on the 5-way pushbutton pad are used to browse up and down through the Scan Lists, respectively. Only Scan Lists that contain objects are shown when browsing.
scanner. About Object Numbering Your PSR-310 is different from other types of scanners in how it stores your Scannable Objects in memory. Instead of fixed channels and banks, objects are stored in the first available block of free memory and assigned an Object ID. The Object ID is the “address” where the object is stored in memory.
enables the scanner to find the previously stored TGRP objects that need to be checked before declaring that the found talkgroup is new and should be scanned as a Wildcard “hit”. If you park on a Wildcard TGRP object in MAN mode, the scanner is not able to “see” the previously stored TGRP objects, and every call on the trunked radio system will come up as a wildcard hit.
Much like the other object types, there are only a few parameters that are essential in order for a search range to function correctly. The FrLO: and FrHi: lower and upper frequency limits must be specified, so the scanner will know where to begin the search, and where to end the search and start again. The Mode: must be set properly, although by default the scanner will automatically choose the receive mode that most likely applies to the active frequency as the search proceeds.
Essential Spectrum Sweeper parameters Like every other object type, there are certain parameters in a SWPR record that are essential in order for the SWPR object to function correctly. By default, a newly created SWPR object is ready to go without any changes. In its default configuration, the SWPR object will sweep through all of the important land mobile radio bands and look for strong signal activity from nearby transmitters.

illust To resume searching, press the ^ key. Now, take a few moments to practice setting up each of the different search object types by experimenting and creating some SRVC, LMIT and SWPR objects. HINT: Remember that there is context sensitive help available for each menu item in the object menus. Just press FUNC, then SEL to view the help, and SEL again to exit the help screen. These are just a few of the many ways you can incorporate different types of search objects in your Scan List configurations.
You may wish to group your Scannable Objects according to the areas where they are used. For example, assume that you routinely travel to another town to visit family. You can assign the channels and talkgroups for fire and police services around your home to one Scan List, and those that are located where your family lives in another.
You can also add any object to the FAV Scan List by pressing the FUNC key, then FAV while the object is active during SCAN mode, or while parked on the object in MAN and PROGRAM mode. It is also possible to clear the FAV Scan List completely by pressing PGM, then the GLOB softkey, then scrolling to down to the Clear FAV menu item. Press the SEL key to set FAV=NO for all objects, press the YES softkey to confirm the action, then press the Save softkey to save your changes.

For more information on text entry and QuickText, please see the section of this manual entitled “Standard Text Entry Method and QuickText”. Once you have started searching, the radio will stop on any object where your find text is found in the frequency, tag, or ID fields as described above.
Temporary lockout locks out an object until the scanner is turned off. When the scanner is powered on again, all objects that have been temporarily locked out are restored. By default, the L/OUT key activates temporary lockout when pressed. If desired, you can change the function of the L/OUT key in the GLOB radio wide settings by pressing PGM, then the GLOB softkey.
uppercase to indicate that permanent lockout is applied to the object: illust If you wish to remove permanent lockout from an object, navigate to the object using the 5-way pushbutton pad while in Manual Mode or PGM mode and press FUNC, then L/OUT again. HINT: You can also toggle lockout anytime you are viewing an object menu in Program mode by pressing L/OUT. Search Lockout Search lockout works with certain search objects, including LMIT searches, some SRVC searches, and SWPR objects.
Talkgroup lockout is similar to search lockout, as it allows you to lockout undesired talkgroups while searching for new talkgroup activity with wildcard TGRP objects.
To delete an object, press PGM, then use the <>^v keys to navigate to the object you wish to delete. Press FUNC CL to delete the object. The scanner will ask you to confirm the delete command before removing the object from the scanner's memory. Deletions cannot be un-done. To delete a TSYS, use the FIND feature to search for the TSYS by name. Press PGM, then press the EDIT softkey, then press the FIND softkey, and use the Standard Text Entry Method to enter all or part of the TSYS name you wish to delete.

To activate Multi-site mode on a Motorola networked system, follow these steps: Press PGM, then navigate to a talkgroup on the networked multi-site system using the <>^v keys. Press the EDIT softkey, then press the CURR softkey. Scroll down to the TSYS item and press the SEL key to edit the TSYS parameters. Scroll to Multi-Site.
By default, LTR Home Repeater AutoMove is turned off and is controlled in the individual TSYS objects. To enable LTR Home Repeater Automove, access the menu for the desired TSYS, then scroll down to the last item in the menu, AutoMove HRs. Use the <> keys to toggle AutoMove HRs on or off for the selected TSYS, then press the Save softkey to save your changes.
This sampling will cause a brief muting of received audio when it occurs while another object is active. The more CONV objects are set for Priority, the longer this audio muting will be, since it takes a certain amount of time to sample each Priority CONV object for activity. TGRP Priority Scan When Object Priority is set to Yes for one or more TGRP objects, the scanner will give those TGRPs priority over other TGRPs while checking a particular trunking system for activity.
Your PSR-310 features a very powerful ALERT LED with Audible Alarm capability that allows you to set different types of visual and audible notifications for the different types of objects you create. You may have noticed that the menus for each object you create include various settings for LED, Backlight and Alarm. You can use these settings to design custom visual and/or audible alarms that are triggered when activity is detected on the specified Scannable Object.
. You have programmed a Talkgroup Wildcard in for a trunked radio system you monitor in order to find new talkgroups. You can use an Audible Alarm to alert you when the radio receives a wildcard hit, and turn on the backlight so that you can read the display and operate the keypad to save or lock out the new talkgroup. . You have programmed your favorite amateur radio repeater in and wish to be alerted when a QSO begins.
Operation of the dedicated Spectrum Sweeper mode is almost identical to that of the object mode, with one exception. When running the Spectrum Sweeper as a Scannable Object, you must use the object menu to enable or disable the Spectrum Sweeper sub-bands when operating in Scan Mode. When dedicated Spectrum Sweeper mode is used, you may press the numeric key on the keypad that corresponds with the sub-band you wish to enable or disable.

Weather Radio Mode Weather radio mode allows you to receive weather broadcasts from your local weather service anytime of the day. To use weather radio mode, simply press the WX button on the keypad. The scanner will quickly scan and lock on to the first active weather radio frequency it receives. You can use the ^ or v keys on the 5-way pushbutton pad to force the radio to look for other weather radio transmitters.
In addition to the code for your location, you may wish to enter additional codes for surrounding areas and any other areas of interest so that you can receive advance warning of adverse or dangerous weather that may be headed in your direction. Unlike other weather alert radios, your scanner features a powerful SAME wildcard feature that allows you to set the radio to alarm on partial matches of the location code.
SAME location/event code storage location set for Entry: OFF and Lockout: ON will not be processed, because Entry is set to OFF. In case of a conflict (i.e., two identical codes and events are entered, and one is locked out), the locked out entry will take precedence.
Event: *** Entry: ON Lockout: OFF SAME Entry 2: Code: 048113 Event: *** Entry: ON Lockout: ON The above combination of entries for 048113 will not receive any SAME messages for 048113, since the second entry is ON, with lockout ON, and with *** (all events wildcard) in the event field. The entry lockout feature should be used with caution so as not to inadvertently lock out desired SAME location or event codes.
numerical SAME code, simply precede each number in the SAME code with “1”. For example, to enter SAME code 048113, press 10 14 18 11 11 13. Scroll to the Event: field. Note the current default of ***, which will allow all messages for the specified SAME location code. We recommend that you leave the event code with “***” to receive all alerts. Scroll to the Tag: field. We suggest that you enter a tag name here that corresponds with the SAME location code that you have entered.
