Removing Scan Bank Limits - AOR AR1000 Manual

AR1000 Operations
For example, to restrict access to only banks 4, 5, and 6, follow this sequence:
SCAN, BANK, PROG, 4, LIMIT, 6, ENT.
Once you do this you will only be able to scan, view, or modify channels 400
through 699. All other channels will be unavailable. The one exception to this is
if the Priority channel is in a bank that is not within the bank limits, when you
press AUX, you will still switch to that channel if there is activity on it (see
72
There may be some circumstances where this method of bank limiting is pre-
ferred. For example, if you routinely want to enable three or four contiguous scan
banks, this method may be quicker than locking out the rest of the banks indi-
vidually. Another reason you may want to use bank limiting is if you have sensi-
tive frequencies in banks that you don't want anyone to get access to. Bank
limiting will add a layer of protection. Unless someone is very familiar with the
operations of the AR1000, they won't be able to display or change any of the
frequencies outside the limited banks.
If you find yourself unable to access a particular channel, you may have uninten-
tionally limited your scan banks. For example, if you try to access channel 450 by
pressing BANK, 450, but the display shows channel 700, you may have limited
(by accident) the scanner to only using banks 7 to 10. In a case like this, you will
want to remove all bank limits.

limits
• Press PROG.
• Press 0.
• Press LIMIT.
• Press 9.
• Press ENT.
In general, however, we recommend you lock, not limit, individual banks. This
gives you individual access to any bank, in any order. When you lock individual
scan banks, you may still manually view and monitor channels in a locked bank.
