BC346XT Tone Out Problem

[jms020877]

I am trying to figure out how to capture the frequencies in the tone out feature. According to the manual:


Tone A setting 0.0 Hz Tone B Setting 0.0 Hz
Monitor the channel for two-tone pages, single-tone pages, and group tones. This tone out search mode works as follows:
All detected tones are compared to the three criteria listed above.
If the tone meets any one of the criteria, the scanner checks to see if this tone frequency is already saved to a tone out channel with the same frequency, modulation, and attenuator settings.
If the detected tone matches a saved tone, the scanner opens squelch.
If the detected tone does not match any saved tones, the scanner opens squelch, flashes the tone information on the display, and asks if you want to save the tone information.

But, it doesn't ask me if I want to save the frequencies. I watched it as it toned...the frequencies came up, the squelch opened, the display flashed, then the frequencies disappeared. It never asked me if I wanted to save the information. I tried Tone Out Search and Tone Out Hold. Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks in advance!!

You need to use Tone Out "Search". Press the "E" key to save the tone frequencies. If you want to the tones to stay captured and displayed for a longer time period, set the delay to infinite.

Thanks Dave!! Worked like a charm...the manual was a little misleading on the part about when it asks you to save the frequencies, but it says it "after" you press the "E" key. The delay was important, too. Now I can leave it on all day!!
