Scanning, Locking Out Channels, To scan | Radio Shack 20-164

Scanning

Scanning sequentially checks all saved channels for activity. You must save frequencies into channels to scan. The scanner does not scan empty channels or unsaved frequencies.

You can increase the scanning speed by locking out channels with continuous transmissions, such as a weather channel or turning off entire banks. Turning off a bank prevents the scanner from scanning any channels within the bank. You cannot turn off all banks. There must be at least one active bank to scan.

	To scan:
	1.	Press SCAN. The scanner checks all
