Notes:

You can manually select any channel in a bank, even if the bank is turned off.

You cannot turn off all banks. There must be at least one active bank.

You cannot turn on a bank where all the channels in the bank are skipped (see “Skipping Channels” on Page 28).

Scanning a Channel-Storage Bank

You can scan a single channel-storage bank. Select the channel- storage bank you want to scan, then press M.BANK. The scanner starts scanning channels in the selected bank that are not skipped.

To select and scan another bank, repeatedly press M.BANK to move the bar on the top of the display under the bank you want.

To select a channel within the bank, enter the channel number.

MANUALLY SELECTING A CHANNEL

You can continuously monitor a specific channel without scan- ning. This is useful if you want to hear a broadcast on a channel and do not want to miss any details (even though there might be periods of silence) or if you want to monitor a locked-out channel (see “Skipping Channels” on Page 28).
