Made the change
Ok, I changed the hold time to 0- that helped alot- scanner is quicker now-don't have the time right now to rearrange all of the frequencies-but I am satisfied with the current change, it turns out I am only using 20% of the memory of the scanner. I would like to thank all for your help on here, the info I have gained has helped me progress with this scanner. Not sure when I will have enough experience to help someone else, however. I liked the close call enough that I just bought the pro-84 at Radio Shack for 49 dollars for a cheap portable. It works good, easy to program, small and compact-not in the same league, but still gets much that I need to receive so does the job for me.
What I really wish for is a traffic site- where "real time" up to date info was around for traffic information. I used to use CB's a long time ago and it seems like much of that is dead now- I guess times have changed so much that it will not come back.
