Help with BC346XT

[GRUMP]

I cannot get my BC346 to stop scanning search in scan mode. I do not know how I got the scnner in this mode but cannot stop it? I looked in the Manual and am still stumped. Frustrated!!!!!!

Press "Function" the button on the side then press "Scan"

The same thing happened to me when I was first learning my 396XT. I didn't now how I enabled it and It took me a while to figure out how to turn it off.

The 396XT has a "search with scan" mode/option for each 'service'. It's actually a nice feature, but can be irritating if you enable it by accident. To disable it:
1. Note which 'service' (or services) is enabled when in scan mode.
2. Press 'menu'
3. Scroll down and select "search for..."
4. Select "Edit Service"
5. Select the 'service' you wish to disable.
6. Select "Set Lockout" and change the status to "Lockout".

..and that's it. Happy Scanning.

Problem almost solved

Cool Cat,

Thanks for the help. I got the pre programed searhes locked out and they stopped scanning. Now I am still scanning the Custom searches where do I turn these off?

Thanks,

Try hitting function+lockout. That will lock out the system that is currently scanning. I don't have a bc346xt, but this works on the other uniden scanners.

The process is the same, you select "Edit Custom" instead of "Edit Service".
