Realistic PRO-26 - Scanner Operation; Initial Setup and Frequency Entry

Automatically Storing Frequencies
Search Skip
You can skip specified frequencies during a limit or direct search. This
lets you avoid frequencies that you know have data tones or that you
have already stored in a channel. You can program up to 50 skip fre¬
quencies in the scanner's memory.
Notes:
• If you program more than 50 skip frequencies, the new frequen¬
cies replace the first ones you stored.
• You can select the skipped frequency when the scanner is
halted. The scanner displays L/O when you select a skipped fre¬
quency.
To skip a frequency, press S/S/l-out when the scanner stops on the
frequency during a limit or direct search.
To remove the frequency from skip memory, halt the search and select
the frequency, then press S/S/L-OUT until L/o disappears from the dis-
play.

range you want to search, then press E/WX.

6. Using the number keys, enter the numbers of the banks where
you want to store frequencies.
Notes:

• If you select a bank that does not contain any empty channels,
the scanner beeps and TULL appears for 2 seconds.

When the scanner finds a transmission, it checks to see if the fre¬
quency is in another channel. If not, the scanner stores the fre¬
quency, then searches for more transmissions and stores their
frequencies in empty channels in the selected banks.
8. To stop storing frequencies, press MANUAL.
When all channels fill, the scanner beeps twice and End appears for
2 seconds, then the scanner goes to the channel where it stored the
last frequency.
