Using Delay
Many conversations might have a pause of several seconds between a query
and a reply. To avoid missing a reply, you can program a 2-second delay into
any of your scanner’s channels. Then, when the scanner stops on the channel,
DLY appears and the scanner continues to monitor the channel for 2 seconds
after the transmission stops before it resumes scanning. The delay feature is
also available while searching.
Note: Delay is automatically set as the default for each channel when you turn
on the scanner.
To turn delay on or off, press •/DELAY. DLY (delay on) or dly (delay off) appears
on the display.
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 so lo changes to LO on the display.
Note: You can still manually select locked-out channels.
To remove the lockout from a channel, manually select the channel and press
L/OUT so LO changes to lo.
Reviewing Locked-Out Channels
To review all locked out channels, press MAN. Then repeatedly alternate be-
tween pressing FUNC and 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 scanner stops
on that frequency. The scanner locks out the frequency, then continues search-
ing.
Notes:
• The scanner does not store locked out frequencies during a search.
• You can lock out as many as 50 frequencies in each bank. If you try to lock
out more, L/O Memory Full! appears.
