Radio Shack PRO-79 Using Priority, Removing Lockouts From All Frequencies in All Service Banks

Removing Lockouts From All Frequencies in All Service Banks

Notes:

•These steps do not clear any lockouts in the marine service bank.

•If you locked out frequencies which are within the range of any of the service banks during direct search, the scanner also removes those locked-out frequencies when you use these steps. For example, if you lockout 29.000 MHz during direct search, the scanner removes it since 29.000 MHz is one of the frequencies in the ham radio service bank.

1.Hold down L/O / L/O RVW for about 2 seconds during a ser- vice bank or direct search. L-rappears.

2.While holding down MON/CL, press BAND. dEFAULt appears.

3.Press ENT. The scanner clears any lockouts from all fre- quencies in all service banks. Or, if you do not want to clear the lockouts, press MON/CL.

USING PRIORITY

The priority feature lets you scan through channels and still not miss important or interesting calls on a frequency you select. You can program one frequency into the priority channel. As the scanner scans, if the priority feature is turned on, the scanner checks the priority channel for activity every 2 seconds.

1.Press PGM, then press PRI/ALERT.

2.Enter the frequency you want to enter into the priority chan- nel, then press ENT.

To turn on the priority feature, press PRI/ALERT during scanning. PRI appears. The scanner checks the priority channel every 2 seconds and stays on the channel if there is activity. PCH and the frequency appear whenever the scanner is set to the priority channel.

To turn off the priority feature, press PRI/ALERT. PRI disap- pears.
