## Example: Using Scanner as a Broadcast FM Radio Tuner
Follow the instructions below to use Scanner as a Broadcast FM Radio Tuner:
1. Press `LOAD`, use dial to select FM_STANDARD_BAND.TXT frequency file, and click Select. (This will load the Search frequency range, frequency step, mode [WFM], and default bandwidth.)
2. Optionally adjust the Volume (VOL), Squelch (SQ), LNA/VGA/AMP RF gain, and Wsa delay settings.
3. Press `<PAUSE>` to stop the automatic searching.
4. Press arrow keys to move focus to the `<PAUSE>`/`<RESUME>` button. When the `<PAUSE>`/`<RESUME>` button is highlighted, the manual dial can be used to tune to an FM radio station.
5. Press `ADD FQ` to add the current frequency to the selected frequency file. Repeat tuning & adding to store additional frequencies.
6. In future listening sessions, just load the same file (step 1) and Scanner will loop through the saved frequencies, spending "Wsa" delay time on each saved station. To stay on a saved station indefinitely, press `<PAUSE>`. To manually change stations, move focus to the `<PAUSE>`/`<RESUME>` button and use the tuning dial. Additional stations may be added in the future by pressing `SRCH`, then `ADD FQ` as desired (step 5). Consider renaming the frequency file to SCANNER.TXT if you wish it to be loaded automatically whenever the app is started.
