Channel Lock Out - Uniden BC350C Manual

Note: All weather channels transmit continuous broadcasts.
Once the Weather scan stops on a transmission, it will remain
on that channel. Weather scan will not resume automatically.
You must press [WX] again to reactivate scanning. In some
parts of the country, you may not be able to monitor weather
broadcasts, such as in low-lying areas. Normally a higher
location will improve the reception.
Note: It is not recommended to program a weather frequency
into any banks. Because weather channels transmit continu-
ously, the scanner will stop on that channel, disrupting the
scanning cycle. The Weather Scan feature was provided
specifically to avoid this occurrence.

Channel Lock Out

• If the scanner beeps stopping on a particular channel due to
noise or frequent un-wanted transmissions, you may want
to keep that channel from being scanned. Usin the channel
Lock out feature will skip this channel during scanning.This
do not erase the frequency from the chanel.
• For PRIVATE bank, you can lock out all the channels in a
bank, if desired. However, if you do, pressing that bank key
will emit an error tone and the scanner will not scan.
• In the POLICE bank, MRN bank, CB bank, or FIRE/EMS
bank, you can lock out 20, 30, 40 or ALL factory pre-
programmed channels (those frequencies that display
without channel numbers in Scan Mode). This enables you
to make a secondary private bank, if desired.
• You cannot lock out any frequency in the WX or AIR banks.
These banks are frequency search banks, and you cannot
lock out any frequency in Search Mode.
• [L/O] is active only when squelch is opened (scan is
stopped) or in Hold Mode.
Locking Out an Unwanted Channel
In Scan Mode, press [L/O] when the scanner stops on a
channel you do not want to hear. The scanner locks out that
channel and immediately advances to the next channel to
resume scanning.
In Scan/Hold Mode, press [L/O] to lock out the displayed
channel/frequency. In this case pressing [L/O] will not
advance to the next channel. "L/O" will appear on the screen
to indicate that the displayed channel is locked out.
