BCD325P2/BCD996P2: Hold on System...Lockout The Rest

[iceman382]

Is there a way to hold on particular system and scan the whole system, while locking out the rest of the programmed systems?

I'm not talking about just pressing the hold/resume key which would only hold on a single frequency or talk group ID. I'm referring to locking out all systems and just receiving one system.

For example, you have fire, police, federal, military, ham radio, etc, programmed.
You hear something on "fire", and you want to lockout everything on the scanner except all the "fire" frequencies in that system. I want to quickly "Hold" on the "fire" frequencies. Is that possible?

Also, I am not talking about individually locking out systems....that would take quiet some time with a lot of programmed systems.

Also, I am not interested "start up" keys either. I know about that.

Thanks.

While scanning the system hold down the "HOLD" button for two beeps and it will stay just on that "System", do it again and goes back to regular scanning....
