DELAY

Many agencies use a two-way radio system that might have a pause of
several seconds between a query and a reply.  To program a delay to keep
from missing a reply on a specific channel, select the channel and press
./DLY so D appears on the display.  The scanner pauses for two seconds on
a channel programmed with a delay.

MANUALLY SELECTING A CHANNEL

You can continuously monitor a specific channel without scanning.  This is
useful if you hear an emergency broadcast on a channel and do not want to
miss any details - even though there might be periods of silence - or if
you want to monitor a specific channel.

To manually select a channel, press MANUAL.  Enter the channel number and
press MANUAL again.  Or, if the scanner is scanning and stops at the
desired channel, press MANUAL one time.  Pressing MANUAL additional times
causes your scanner to step through the channels.

LOCKING OUT CHANNELS

You can increase the scanning speed by locking out channels that you have
not yet programmed.  Manually select the empty channel and press L-OUT/ENT
so L appears on the display.  This is also handy for locking out channels
that have a continuous transmission, such as a weather channel.  You can
still manually select locked-out channels.

To remove the lock-out from a channel, manually select the channel and
press L-OUT/ENT so L disappears from the display.
