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, then press Func + L/O. L/O appears.
Note: You can still manually select
To remove the lockout from a channel, manually select the channel, then press Func + L/O. L/O disappears.
To unlock all channels in the banks that are turned on, press Hold to stop scanning, then press Func and press and hold L/O until the scanner beeps twice.
Priority
The priority feature lets you scan through the channels and still not miss important or interesting calls on specific channels. You can program one stored channel in each bank as a priority channel (10 for the banks).
If the priority feature is turned on, as the scanner scans the bank, it checks that bank's priority channel for activity every 2 seconds.
The scanner automatically designates each bank's first channel as its priority channel.
Follow these steps to select a different channel in a bank as the priority channel.
