LOCKING OUT CHANNELS OR
FREQUENCIES
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. To lock out a channel
manually, select the channel then press
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, you can remove the lockout by removing
then reapplying power 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 Lock-Out Channels
To review all channels that are locked out, press
MANU-
AL
, then repeatedly press
FUNC
then
L/OUT
to view each
locked-out channel. When you finish reviewing locked-
out channels, press
MANUAL
.
Locking Out Frequencies
To lock out a frequency during a search, press
L/OUT
when the scanner stops on the frequency. The scanner
locks out the frequency, then continues searching.
Notes:
• The scanner does not store locked out frequencies
during a search.
