Use the CLEAR key if you make a mistake. Then start over by entering the frequency again.
• Press ENT.
• Press or toggle a mode key (AM, FM, WFM).
This will overwrite the current frequency in the channel. A more general way to
explain this is that you can enter a new frequency when you are at any channel
and make it permanent by toggling a mode key. This fact also means that you
can "try out" frequencies in channels with existing frequencies in them. Plug in
the new frequency and listen. As long as you don't toggle a mode key, the old
frequency will remain stored in the channel.

Caution using Lockout

With the AR1000, the LOCKOUT key is always active. If you are scanning and
press LOCKOUT by accident, the channel that you happen to be scanning when
you press the key will be locked, even if the scanner has not stopped on that
channel. You will probably not even notice that you have locked the channel.
