PRO-94 Tutorial: How to Use Search Skip Memory

You can skip up to 50 specified frequencies during a limit or direct search and up to 20 specified frequencies during a service bank search. This lets you avoid unwanted frequencies or those already stored in a channel. For information on getting into and using these search modes, see the Limit Search Tutorial, the Direct Search Tutorial, or the Service Bank Search Tutorial. This tutorial starts with the scanner in the Marine (MRN) service bank search mode.

Note: You cannot skip frequencies during WX service search.

Step 1: Skip a Frequency



To skip a frequency, press S/S (L-OUT) when the scanner stops on the frequency during a limit, direct, or service search. The scanner stores the frequency in memory and automatically resumes the search. See the next step to review the skipped frequencies. See Steps 3 through 5 to remove a single frequency from skip memory. See Step 6 to clear all frequencies from skip memory. Notes: If you select all frequencies to be skipped within the search range, the scanner beeps 3 times and does not search. If you select more than 50 frequencies to skip, each new frequency replaces a previously stored frequency, beginning with the first stored frequency.


Step 2: Review the Skipped Frequencies



To review the skipped frequencies, press HOLD to stop the search, and then press and release UP or DOWN to step through the frequencies while HOLD appears. L/O appears when you select a skipped frequency, indicating that the frequency is locked out.


Step 3: Remove a Frequency from Skip



To clear a single frequency from skip memory so that the scanner will stop on it during a limit, direct, or service bank search, press HOLD (A/B) to stop the search.


Step 4: Select the Frequency To Remove from Skip



Press and release UP or DOWN to select the frequency. L/O appears in the display to indicate that the frequency is locked out.


Step 5: Turn Skip Off for the Frequency



Press S/S (L-OUT). L/O disappears from the display screen.


Step 6: Clear All Skipped Frequencies



To clear all of the skip frequencies at once while searching, press HOLD (A/B), then hold down S/S (L-OUT) until the scanner beeps twice.
