Turning Channel-Storage Banks On And Off; Locking Out Channels - Radio Shack 20-501 User Manual

turning channel-storage banks
on and off
You can turn each channel-storage bank on and off.
When you turn off a bank, the scanner does not scan
any of the 20 channels in that bank.
While scanning, press the number key that corre-
sponds to the bank you want to turn on or off. Num-
bers appear at the top of the display, showing the
currently selected banks.
The scanner scans all the channels within the dis-
played banks that are not locked out (see "Locking
Out Channels"). The bank number flashes when the
scanner scans a channel that belongs to the bank.
Notes:
• You can manually select any channel within a
bank, even if that bank is turned off.
• You cannot turn off all banks. One bank must
always be active.

locking out channels

You can increase the scanning speed by locking out
channels that have a continuous transmission, such
as a weather channel. To lock out a channel, manu-
ally select the channel, then press FUNC and L/O.
L/O appears.
