Scanning The Stored Channels - Radio Shack PRO-2018 Owner's Manual

20-424 Owner's Manual
• If you entered a frequency that is already stored in another channel, -dUPL- (duplicate) and the
lowest-numbered channel containing the duplicate frequency flash for about 3 seconds. If you want
to store the frequency anyway, press again. You can then delete the frequency later. See
ENT
"Clearing a Stored Channel" on Page 17.
6. To tune for another active frequency, hold down ^ or v for about 1 second.

SCANNING THE STORED CHANNELS

To set the scanner to continuously scan through all channels with stored frequencies, simply
pressing until SCAN and ^ appear, then the scanner begins to rapidly scan until it finds an
SCAN
active frequency.
If the scanner finds an active frequency, it stops and displays that channel and frequency number,
then it automatically begins scanning again when the transmission on that frequency ends.
Notes:
• To reverse the scanning direction, press ^ or v.
• To set the scanner to remain on the current channel for 2 seconds after the transmission ends, see
"Delay" on Page 20.
• To set the scanner to remain on the current channel, even after the transmission stops, press
at any time during the transmission so MAN appears and SCAN disappears (see
SCAN/MAN
"Monitoring a Stored Channel").
• To lock out channels so the scanner does not stop for a transmission on those channels, see
"Locking Out Channels or Frequencies" on Page 20.
TURNING CHANNEL-STORAGE BANKS OFF AND ON
Channel-storage banks (1–10) are on when they have a bar underneath them and off when no bar
appears underneath them. To turn off a channel-storage bank, press the bank's number key during
scanning. The bar under the bank's number disappears.
Note: The scanner does not scan any of the channels within the banks you have turned off.
To turn on a channel-storage bank (1–10) during scanning, press the bank's number key. A bar
appears under the bank's number.
Notes:
• You cannot turn off all banks. There must be at least one active bank.
