The Difference Between Locking A Channel And Locking A Bank; Limiting Scan Banks - AOR AR1000 Manual

Note:
If the channel you choose when you unlock a bank is, itself, individually locked,
pressing LOCKOUT will still unlock the bank. In this case, however, the
L.OUT indicator in the display will continue to flash, telling you that this
channel is still locked. If you press LOCKOUT again, you will then unlock the
individual channel.

The difference between locking a channel and locking a bank

When you lock an individual channel, that channel, and any others that are
locked, will be skipped when the bank they are in is scanned. For example, if you
lock channels 102, 105, and 167, when you scan bank 1, these three channels
will be skipped, while all the other entered channels in bank 1 will be scanned.
When you lock a bank, the entire bank (i.e. every channel in it) is skipped. There
is an easy way to distinguish when a channel is locked and when an entire bank is
locked. If a channel is locked, when you go to that channel, the L.OUT indicator
in the display will flash. When an entire bank is locked, if you go to any channel
in that bank, both the L.OUT and the BANK indicators in the display flash.
Because of this, you won't be able to tell, just from the display, if a channel in a
locked bank is also locked. However, after unlocking the bank, if L.OUT contin-
ues to flash, then the channel is also locked.

Limiting scan banks

There is a method of limiting the banks that are scanned with the AR1000, but
under normal circumstances, we do not recommended using it. The limited
banks must be sequential, and, more seriously, once you limit a set of banks, you
will not be able to access channels outside these banks in any mode, even in
Manual mode.
The method is as follows:
To limit
• Press SCAN.
• Press BANK.
