Locking Out Search Banks - AOR AR1000 Manual

Searching
When you enter that search bank (you'll see the bank number below the BANK
indicator), the first frequency you'll see will be the first locked frequency. If you
want to unlock it, press LOCKOUT. If you want to leave it locked, press ENT.
In either case, you'll be shown the next locked frequency. Continue this process
until you have viewed or unlocked all the locked frequencies in this bank. You
can continue this process for all the locked banks in the scanner if you wish.
When all locked frequencies are unlocked, the scanner will resume searching.
Example:
Assume you have four frequencies locked in search bank 0: 154.25, 154.75,
155.825, and 158.5, and you want to unlock all but the last.
Press:
BANK
PROG
LOCKOUT
The scanner shows 154.25—the first locked frequency.
To unlock it, press LOCKOUT.
The scanner then displays 154.75.
Press LOCKOUT to unlock it.
The scanner now displays 155.825.
Press LOCKOUT once again to unlock this frequency.
The scanner displays the final locked frequency: 158.5.
Press ENT to keep it locked.
If you have quite a few frequencies locked within a search bank, a much quicker
way to unlock them is to simply reprogram the old search bank parameters again.
By entering the same lower and upper limits, you'll start all over using the same
search range, but with no locked frequencies.
Locking search banks
As with scan banks, you can lock an entire search bank. You can also limit search
banks, which has a different effect than locking them out.
There are advantages and disadvantages to these two methods of managing search
banks. Fortunately, you can use them together very effectively. You may want to
use bank limiting to limit the range of search banks as an organizational tool.
Then you can still lock individual banks within the limited range for even more
control.
