Frequency Pass (Lockout); Frequency Pass During Program Search - AOR AR8000 Operating Manual

direction program search was previously using.
Delete program search bank data while in VFO mode
First place the receiver into the 2VFO operating mode by pressing [2VFO].
Access the main "SELECT-DEL" by keying [FUNC] [9]. Use the UP/DOWN or
[DIAL] to position the cursor to the left of the "SRCH-DATA" option then press
[ENT].
Use the keypad, [DIAL] or UP/DOWN keys until the desired bank identifier is
displayed. Remember, if you have set the password then it must be keyed in
to access the protected banks.
When the desired program search bank identifier is displayed, press [ENT] to
delete the data.
The receiver will return to 2VFO mode.

(14) FREQUENCY PASS (lockout)

Should the AR8000 stop on an active frequency while in program search mode
and you do not wish to monitor it any longer, simply press the UP/DOWN keys
or rotate the [DIAL] to force the search process to resume in the direction
selected.
However, should the receiver continually stop on the same frequency you may
wish to PASS (lockout) the annoying frequency so that it will be skipped over
when the bank is next searched. Even STEP-OFFSET frequencies may be
passed.
Up to a total of 50 memory channels may be "passed" in each of the 20
program search banks making a total of 1000 locked out frequencies.
Note: To prevent the same frequency using up many pass channels, the
AR8000 will not permit the same frequency to be registered for PASS
within a range of +/- 10 kHz from a previously locked out frequency.
14-1 FREQUENCY PASS (lockout) during program search
To PASS a frequency when searching, wait for the frequency to become active
then press [PASS].
A lower case (small) letter "p" will be added to the left of the frequency display
on the second line and the scan process will move on to the next frequency.
This process will happen so quickly that you will not see the "p" for
PASS being added. However, should you subsequently review the
frequencies later, the legend "p" will be displayed along side the frequency.
