Scanning And Search Speeds; Locking Out Channels; Turning Channel-Storage Banks On And Off - Radio Shack Realistic PRO-2030 Manual

SCANNING AND SEARCH SPEEDS

Your Pro-2030 has 2 different scanning/search speeds:
Low - 12 channels/steps per second
High - 50 channels/steps per second
The scanner has a high/low selector for these speeds.
While you are in the scan or search mode, press SPEED to select the scanning/search speed.
Whenever the unit is turned on, the speed is automatically set to high.

LOCKING OUT CHANNELS

You can increase the effective scanning speed by locking out specific channels that you have not yet
programmed. To do so, manually select the channel and press L/O so LOCKOUT appears on the
display.
This is also handy for locking out channels you have programmed that have a continuous transmission.
You can still manually select locked-out channels.
To unlock a channel, manually select the channel and press L/O so LOCKOUT disappears from the
display.
Note: There must be at least one active channel in each bank. You cannot lock out all channels.

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 10 channels in the bank.
While scanning, press the number key corresponding to the bank you want to turn on or off. If the
memory bank indicator is on, the bank is turned on and the scanner scans all channels within that bank
that are not locked out. If the indicator is off, the scanner does not scan any of the channels within that
bank.
You can manually select any channel in a bank, even if the bank is turned off. You cannot turn off all
banks. One bank is always active.
