To skip over a frequency, press L/O when the scanner is stopped on a frequency you want to skip. Notes: • You can program up to 200 skip frequencies. The 201st skip frequency entered causes the first skipped frequency to unlock. • If all frequencies in the search range are set to skip, a beep sounds and it moves to Search Hold mode. To resume searching: 1) Unskip all skipped frequencies -- OR -2) Select a different Search Frequency range. To unskip all skipped frequencies, press and hold L/O for 2 seconds in Search Hold mode. Storing Found Frequencies If you find a frequency you want to save into a channel, simply press TRNFR when the scanner is stopped on that frequency. The scanner displays the lowest-numbered empty channel. Use the scroll bar to select the channel you want to save the frequency into, then press E. Notes: • If you have already stored this frequency, the scanner displays WARNING DUPLICATE and the channel where the frequency is stored. To store the frequency anyway, press E again. • After you store the frequency, the scanner resumes searching. • If all channels are used, the scanner defaults to the last-used channel prior to entering the search mode. Automatically Storing Frequencies During searching, you can have the scanner automatically store active frequencies into a bank you choose. 1:SERVICE OPTION → :CHAIN SEARCH → 7:AUTO STORE → 1:ON 1. Press the numbers corresponding to the banks you want the scanner to store found frequencies into. 2. Press SRCH to start the auto-store operation. 3. Press L/HOLD to stop auto-store. The scanner exits the auto-store mode. Note: To ensure that you catch most active frequencies for the band, you should allow the auto-store operation to continue through at least a few complete sweeps of the band. Depending on the types of services, some occasionally active frequencies might not have activity for minutes or hours at a time. 27
