To turn off channel-storage banks, press the number key for the bank(s) so the bank’s number disappears. The scanner does not scan any of the stored channels within banks you have turned off.

Notes:

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

You cannot turn off all three banks.

The scanner skips channels that have been locked out (see “Skip- ping Frequencies/Channels” on Page 23).

MANUALLY SELECTING A CHANNEL

You can continuously monitor a spe- cific channel without scanning. This is useful if you hear an emergency broadcast on a channel and want to hear all the details (even though there might be periods of silence) or if you want to monitor only a specific chan- nel or a locked-out channel.
