[ScanIndiana] SAFE-T system in Indy and BC296

I don't really get this "plan" thing...with my PRO-93,
PRO-95, PRO-2053, and PRO-96, all I need to do is put
the Moto control freq in, in MO mode with the Bank in
MO mode, and hit scan...

You need to tell the Unidens what? I thought that only
EDACS had a "plan..."
