To lock out a frequency found while searching, press [L/O]. Pressing [L/O] once displays Temporary L/O and pressing [L/O] twice displays Locked Out.

Notes:

•If all frequencies in the search range you selected are locked out, All Locked! appears and the scanner does not search the range.

•If the service you select uses channels (such as CB Radio or Marine), the scanner displays the service channel number.

•Press and hold [L/O] for about 2 seconds to unlock all frequencies that are locked out in Search Mode and Close Call Mode.

Quick Search

Quick Search lets you search from the currently-tuned frequency if you are scanning a conventional system or sets the system to ID search if you are scanning a trunked system.

If you are on a conventional system or channel, press F + [SCAN/SEARCH] to start quick search. Quick Search? Yes=”E” / No=”.” appears. Press [HOLD/RESUME] to go to quick search hold.

Press [EYES] to start quick search or [.No] to go to the search menu.

Custom Search

Custom Search lets you program and search 10 custom search ranges. You can search any of these ranges simultaneously and select each custom search range you set. During custom search, the scanner searches starting with the lowest frequency in the search range you select to the highest frequency in the range. There are two methods to begin a custom search.

Notes:

•Search ranges are preset. These ranges can be edited. See “Editing a Custom Search Range” on Page 103 to change the range.

•You cannot turn off all custom search ranges.
