Unlocking a search bank where the previous bank has locked frequencies
Unfortunately in the AR1000, there is no separation between the search banks
you lock and individual frequencies within a search bank that you lock. If you
want to unlock a search bank that is locked, you first need to go through all the
locked frequencies in the previous search bank.
Let's try to make this clearer. Let's say that you have bank 3 set to search the
cellular phone range starting at 870 MHz, and you have locked 6 individual
digital control frequencies in this range
individual frequencies). Search bank 4 is set to search from 155 MHz to 156
MHz and it is currently locked. To unlock bank 4, you would press SEARCH, 3,
BANK, PROG, LOCKOUT, and then press the ENT key six times. The ENT
key works the same way it does above when you pass over locked search banks. In
this case, however, the scanner shows you locked search frequencies. Each time
you press the ENT key, the scanner takes you to a locked search frequency in
bank 3. Pressing ENT tells the scanner that you want to keep the frequency
locked and will move you to the next locked frequency. After you pass through
— this leaves bank 4 locked and advances you to bank 5.
— this leaves bank 5 locked and advances you to bank 6.
— this leaves bank 6 locked and advances you to bank 7.
