Using Delay/Hold - AOR AR1000 Manual

Scanning

Using Delay/Hold

When the AR1000 stops on an active channel while scanning, it pauses for two
or three seconds after a transmission ends before it continues scanning. This is to
provide time to hear a response before it resumes scanning.
You may alternately instruct the AR1000 to permanently stop scanning instead
of pausing as soon as it hears a transmission. You do this by toggling the Delay
and Hold modes. Delay waits a few seconds and then starts scanning while Hold
stops on a transmission and won't resume until you manually press SCAN again.
You can tell which mode you are in by looking at the display. It will indicate
either Delay or Hold. This mode applies to all channels in the scanner. You can't
set Delay or Hold independently for separate channels.
Unfortunately, you can not defeat the delay feature of the AR1000. This be-
comes a problem if you are trying to monitor trunked systems, because in a
trunked system, the response may come on a channel that is different from that
of the original transmission. On a trunked system you want the scanner to
immediately resume scanning after a transmission ends. Since the AR1000 is
waiting to hear the response on the same channel, you may miss the response on a
different channel by the time the scanner starts scanning again. There is currently
no way around this problem and the AR1000 may not be able to meet your
needs for monitoring trunked systems.
The AR1000 always defaults to Delay mode after powerup.
Note:
When you have enabled Priority mode (AUX is in the display), the scanner will
no longer hold, even if HOLD is selected. After stopping on an active channel,
the scanner will resume scanning after the usual two to three second delay. This
is a bug in the AR1000.
