I would tell you the mottle number of the one I got, but I lent it out and..
Just go to a radio shack and look at them. They are pretty inexpensive and
most are accessible. I can't program them independently, but you can punch
in a frequency on a key pad similar to a telephone and then scan up or down
from that with arrow keys.
