Locking Out Frequencies

When you lock out frequencies during a search,
the scanner continues searching, but ignores
the locked out frequencies. You can lock out
up to 50 frequencies in each bank. If you try to
lock out more,

“L/O Memory Full!”

appears.

While using Signal Stalker II, you can lock out
150 frequencies if searching All Bands and
50 frequencies while searching PubSafety
frequencies. If you lock out 5 frequencies
within a 1 MHz segment, the scanner will skip
that segment in subsequent sweeps.

Notes:

If you lock out all the frequencies in a
search bank and only that search bank is
activated, “

All ranges Locked out!”

appears and the scanner does not search.

Signal Stalker II still performs a fine step
search for locked out signals. Signal
Stalker II will not stop on the signal, but
scan may take longer.
