Notes:
• The scanner scans all the channels within the displayed banks that
are not locked out.
• You can manually select any channel within a bank, even if that bank
is turned off.
• One bank must always be active. If you try to turn off all banks, the
last bank remains.
Programming Scan Bank Lists
Scan bank lists save the configuration status (on or off) of the scanner’s 20
banks. You can program up to 20 scan lists, assign text names, and load the
configuration you want to use. For example, you might create a scan list
named “Home” which scans banks 0-8, and a list named “Work” which scans
banks 9-12.
To program and name a scan bank list:
1. Turn banks on or off in the configuration that you want to save.
2. Press FUNC + MAN/MENU.
3. Select Scan List and press ENT/PGM.
4. Select Save Scan List and press ENT/PGM.
5. Select the number you want and press ENT/PGM. Select Yes and press
ENT/PGM.
6. Press CL to go to the previous menu.
7. Select Edit Text and press ENT/PGM.
8. Select the number you want and press ENT/PGM.
9. Input text and press ENT/PGM.

To load a scan bank list:
1. Press FUNC + MAN/MENU.
2. Select Scan List and press ENT/PGM.
3. Select Load Scan List and press ENT/PGM.
4. Select the list you want to load and press ENT/PGM. Select Yes and
press ENT/PGM.
5. Press MAN/MENU to exit from the menu.
Locking Out Channels
You can increase the scanning speed by locking out channels that have a
continuous transmission (such as a weather channel). To lock out a channel,
manually select the channel, and then press L/O. L/O appears.
Note: You can still manually select locked-out channels.
To remove the lockout from a channel, manually select the channel, then
press L/O. L/O disappears.
To unlock all channels in the selected banks and all Signal Stalker I log
channels, press MAN to stop scanning, then hold down L/O until the
scanner beeps twice.
Skipping Data Signals
The data skip feature prevents the scanner from stopping on channels
that consist of non-modulated or data signals (such as fax or modem
transmissions) during a search or scan. When the radio receives a data signal
and data skip is selected, the signal is ignored.
To turn on the data skip feature:
1. If the priority feature is on, turn it off by pressing PRI during scanning.
2. Press FUNC + MAN/MENU.
3. Select Data Skip and press ENT/PGM.
4. Select Search, Scan, or Signal Stalker then press ENT/PGM.
5. Select On or Off and press ENT/PGM.
6. Press MAN/MENU to exit the Menu Mode, or press CL to go back to a
previous menu.
7. DS appears when the data skip feature is on.
Note: This feature does not apply to the AM band or Weather Search
Mode as data signals are not generally found in these services.
