Bank; Delay/Hold - AOR AR1000 Manual

The Keyboard
currently assigned as Priority has activity, you will be immediately switched to it
(since, by pressing AUX, you have turned on Priority mode) and will not be able
to enter the rest of the key presses for the new Priority channel.
The solution, if this happens, is to press the Attenuation button to reduce the
signal from the current Priority channel. This should keep it from switching
while you are trying to enter a new channel number. You may also have to close
the squelch, or, in the worst case, remove the antenna. However, unless your
Priority channel is very active, you probably won't see this problem.
Priority channel problem 2:
When you are in Priority mode, the Hold function will no longer operate cor-
rectly. When Priority mode is enabled, the scanner will always act as if Delay
mode is set, whether the display reads DELAY or HOLD. After stopping on an
active channel or frequency, the scanner will resume scanning or searching when
the frequency goes inactive. This is a bug associated with the operation of the
Priority feature.

BANK

The BANK button is the primary button you will use to gain direct access to any
scan channel. Once you are in Manual mode, you can look at any channel by
pressing BANK and the three-digit channel number. When you press the BANK
button, the BANK indicator flashes in the display. You would expect this func-
tion to work directly from the MANUAL key, but, with the AR1000, you have
to press BANK first. If you make a mistake entering the channel you want to go
to, press the CLEAR button and enter the correct channel. You can get out of the
mode altogether by pressing the MANUAL key again.
If you press the BANK button while in Scan mode, scanning will stop and
PROG will flash in the display. The AR1000 thinks you want to set up scan
bank limiting, a feature we recommend you don't use for normal activity. Press
the SCAN button to take you out of this mode.
If you press the BANK button while in Search mode, PROG will flash in the
display. The AR1000 is prompting you to press the PROG button so that you
can set up search bank limiting. See page 31 for details about using search bank
limiting. If you pressed BANK by mistake, simply press the SEARCH button
again to return to search mode.

DELAY/HOLD

The DELAY/HOLD button sets scanning or searching mode to either Delay or
Hold. In Delay mode, when an active frequency is encountered, after the trans
