Unlocking Search and Scan Banks
In cases where the set does not appear to operate correctly, first try these few ideas. It usually is simply "finger" trouble.
SCAN
1) Memory banks which contain no data will not be scanned, this sometimes happens when channels have been deleted by the customer (or following a microprocessor reset). Enter data into at least one channel of each bank and try scan again.
i.e. MANUAL 1 3 3 . 7 ENTER
PROG 000 PROG 100 PROG 200 PROG 300 etc.
2) Ensure that ALL banks are listed for scan. To reinstate all memory banks:
SCAN BANK PROG 0 LIMIT 9 ENTER
SEARCH
1) Ensure that all banks are listed for search. To reinstate all search banks:
SEARCH BANK PROG 0 LIMIT 9 ENTER
2) Ensure that data is correctly stored in the search parameters
SEARCH PROG 150 LIMIT 160 ENTER 25 ENTER FM ENTER "X" ENTER SEARCH
Where "X" is the bank which you wish to reprogram (i.e. 1,2,3, etc.).
3) Check that the first frequency of a search bank is not locked out, this is how the receiver of a search bank is not locked out, this is how the receiver decides whether the search bank is locked out.
SEARCH BANK PROG LOCKOUT
The first locked out frequency will appear on the display, to release it press LOCKOUT or to move on to the next press ENTER
Hunt for the first frequency of each search bank to ensure that they are not locked out release them by pressing LOCKOUT
Alternatively simply unlock every frequency in the lockout list - but this may take some time as there could be as many as 1000.
When the last frequency is unlocked the receiver will start searching. Don't go too quickly or you may start LOCKING OUT new frequencies rather that UNLOCKING old ones. This may be the case if all the frequencies suddenly appear numeric. If so just start point 3 again.
