Beyond the Basics
scanning a private bank
You can program frequencies into channels of the private bank. There are 1000 channels in the bank. 150 of the most frequently used frequencies are preprogrammed into Channels 1 to 150. You can scan these frequencies as soon as you turn on the scanner.
1After programming frequencies, press HOLD/RESUME to begin scanning. Or repeatedly press PVT until PRIVATE appears, if the scanner is in another mode. Your scanner scans all the channels upward.
2. The bank number indicators
Note
One bank must always be active. You cannot deactivate all ten banks at the same time. If you try to deselect all the banks, the first bank is automatically selected.
To restore a bank to active scanning, enter the bank’s number on your keypad. The bank’s indicator will display again.
During normal scanning the scanner skips unprogrammed or locked out channels. When a transmission is received, the scanner stops on that channel. When the transmission ends, scanning resumes automatically.
Notes
You can set the scanner to hold on a frequency for
two seconds allowing time for a response. For more information on the delay feature, see “Delay”.
During Signal Stalker operation, the delay time is 10 seconds. After 10 seconds have elapsed, or if you press e or HOLD/RESUME, the scanner resumes search.
