Using Delay/Hold; Manual Mode - AOR AR1000 Manual

AR1000 Operations

Using Delay/Hold

Delay/Hold works the same during searching as it does during scanning. When
the function is set to Delay (DELAY appears in the display) the scanner will
pause for two or three seconds after an active frequency goes quiet before it
continues searching. When you set it on Hold (HOLD appears in the display),
the scanner will stop permanently after it finds an active frequency. You must
manually press the SEARCH button again to make the scanner start searching.
The Hold feature is useful if you want to be sure you'll see the frequency each
time you find an active channel. If you leave the scanner in Delay mode, it may
resume searching before you have time to see or copy down the frequency.
When you set Delay or Hold, it applies to all activity of the scanner. That is, if
you are in Hold mode, you will stop operations after an active frequency is found
whether you are scanning or searching. This mode applies to every scan and
search bank. It cannot be set for individual scan or search banks.
Note:
When you have enabled Priority mode (AUX is in the display), the scanner will
no longer hold, even if HOLD is selected. After stopping on an active frequency,
the scanner will resume searching after the usual two to three second delay. This
is a bug in the AR1000 operation.

Manual mode

Manual mode is the mode you will use to program frequencies for individual
scan channels (see page 16 for details). You can also use Manual mode to step
through scan channels to review their contents or simply listen to individual
channels.
You enter Manual mode by pressing the MANUAL button while in Search or
Scan mode. In Manual mode, the scanner sits on an individual channel. Each
time you press the MANUAL button, you advance to the next available channel.
There are two cases where channels will not be available from the MANUAL
button. If you have limited scan banks, MANUAL will not allow you to examine
any scan channels outside the limited banks. In addition, channels that are cleared
(i.e. contain no frequency) will be skipped when you press the MANUAL but-
ton. The only way to access these channels is to directly address them with the
BANK button.
When you step through channels using the MANUAL button, you will step to
all available channels; even channels that are locked. Locking out a channel only
applies to scanning. In Manual mode, you can always go to an individual channel
and hear any activity on it, even if it is locked.
