Limiting Search Banks - AOR AR1000 Manual

AR1000 Operations
all of the locked frequencies in bank 3, you will see bank 4 appear in the display
(both BANK and L.OUT will be flashing). When you press LOCKOUT, bank 4
will become enabled.
If you only have a couple of locked search frequencies (or better yet, none), it is
very easy to get to the bank you want to unlock. Just press ENT a few times until
the bank number you want to unlock shows up on the display. If you have
locked many search frequencies, this method of unlocking search banks may
prove cumbersome. In that case, you may want to use the search bank limiting
feature.
Tip:
You can use search bank limiting to help quickly unlock a bank when the previ-
ous bank has many locked frequencies. First, set the bank limits to only the
search bank you want to unlock
search banks.) In the above example, if you first limit the search banks only to
bank 4, then when you press SEARCH, BANK, PROG, LOCKOUT you'll be
right at bank 4 (it's the only one not limited). Press LOCKOUT to unlock the
bank and then you can start searching it. This procedure avoids having to step
through all of the locked frequencies in the previous search bank.

Limiting search banks

You can limit the banks that get searched by using the bank limiting feature.
With bank limiting, you set a lower and upper bank limit and the search will
only use the search parameters of these banks. Remember, after a search is done
using one bank's set of limits, the next available bank is used. If you've set up all
ten search banks with limits for different frequency ranges, but only want to
search in two of them, you can use bank limiting, only if the two banks are
contiguous. Bank 9 and bank 0 are considered contiguous, since the search starts
over with bank 0 after finishing with bank 9.
