Locking out frequencies within a search bank

One of the unique features of the AR1000 is the ability to lock individual fre-

that have no useful activity. With the search frequency lockout feature, you
simply lock out any unwanted frequencies during a search and the scanner
ignores them.

Caution using Lockout

the key will be locked, even if the scanner has not stopped on that channel. You

below, to see if you have inadvertently locked any frequencies you didn't intend
to lock.
