Unlocking A Search Bank - AOR AR1000 Manual

AR1000 Operations
The basic tradeoffs are these: with bank limiting, you must group the search
banks that you want available as contiguous banks. You can search banks 4, 5,
and 6 with bank limiting, but not banks 2, 5, and 8. Bank lockout is more
flexible because you can selectively lock and unlock banks in any order. However,
with bank lockout, you pay a penalty if you have also locked individual frequen-
cies within your banks. This is described on page 19.

The bank you were in when you pressed LOCKOUT will be locked and the
AR1000 will begin using the search parameters of the next higher bank, if one is
available. The banks will "wrap around" if necessary. For example, if you have
banks 3 and 9 enabled and are searching bank 9, when you lock it out, the
AR1000 will wrap around to bank 3 and start using it for searching.

Unlocking a search bank

Unlocking a search bank is a bit more confusing because, if you have locked out
individual frequencies in the previous search bank, you will have to go through
each individual frequency before you can unlock the bank you want. This is
described further on. But first, let's look at how to unlock search banks if you
haven't locked out individual frequencies in the previous search bank.
