Copying A Frequency From One Channel To Another; Selecting And Locking Scan Banks - AOR AR1000 Manual

were interested in monitoring the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). You might
plug in 20 frequencies in your scanner to monitor them. At some point you
decide you are no longer interested in them. If you leave the frequencies in the
scanner, even if locked out, when you go searching around for "available" chan-
nels to plug something else in, you may not remember what these frequencies
were for and whether or not you wanted to keep them. If, instead, they were filled
with a "placeholder" frequency, like 10.000 MHz (or whatever you choose), you
will immediately be able to recognize that these channels are available.
To "mark" a

The placeholder value will automatically be copied to this channel.
Continue with the last two steps, incrementing the channel number each time.
Both the placeholder frequency and the Lockout status will be copied into each
channel.

Copying a frequency from one channel to another

You may want to copy a frequency from one channel to another.

This method works well for copying a single channel. To copy a group of chan-

Selecting and locking scan banks

Because you will probably organize your scan banks according to related groups of
frequencies, it is useful to be able to selectively turn banks on and off for scan-
ning.
To lock a scan bank you must first be in the bank you wish to lock.
• Press MANUAL if not in Manual mode.
To lock a
• Press BANK.
scan bank
• Enter a three-digit channel number that will put you in the bank you wish to
lock.
This gets you to the bank you wish to lock. You can lock a bank from any channel in that bank.
To lock bank 2, go to any channel from 200 to 299.
