     I use one scanner,and programme the frequencys in banks of 10 or
so,this will give you say ten back to back of say 131.725 then ten of
131.525 and so on ,then set the scanner to scan only these banks of Acars
frequencys,the scanner will then stay on each frequency for a few seconds
before flipping over to the next set of programmed freqenceys.
