SPECIAL FEATURES
USING DELAY
Many agencies use a two-way radio
system that might have a period of 2
or more seconds between a transmis-
sion and a reply. To keep from miss-
ing a reply, the scanner automatically
pauses 2 seconds on a channel after
a transmission ends before it pro-
ceeds to the next channel.
To turn delay on or off, press FUNC
then DELAY .
LOCKING OUT
CHANNELS,
FREQUENCIES, AND
TRUNKING IDS
You can scan existing channels or
search frequencies faster by locking
out channels or frequencies that have
a continuous transmission, such as a
weather channel.
Locking Out Channels
To lock out a channel while scanning,
press
L/OUT when the scanner stops
on the channel. Or select the channel
then hold down
L/OUT until L appears.
Notes:
• You can still manually select
locked-out channels.
• If you lock out a channel that is set
to a Motorola trunking mode while
using the subaudible decoding
mode, the lockout is removed
when power is disconnected then
reapplied to the scanner. This
makes it easy to temporarily lock
out trunking data channels.
To remove the lockout from a channel,
manually select the channel and press
L/OUT until L disappears.
Reviewing the Locked-Out
Channels
To review all channels that are locked
out, first press
MAN then press FUNC
then L/OUT to view each locked-out
channel. When you finish reviewing
locked-out channels, press
MAN .
Locking Out Frequencies
To lock out a frequency during a
search, press
L/OUT when the scan-
ner stops on the frequency. The scan-
ner locks out the frequency then
continues searching.
Notes:
• You can lock out as many as 50
frequencies in each bank. If you
try to lock out more,
Memory
full! appears.
• If you lock out all frequencies in
one search bank and only that
search bank is activated,
Search
up... All ranges locked
out! appears and the scanner
does not search. Select a different
bank or unlock some frequencies.
