BC396XT L/O Of Everything Except Desired System?

[darthjulian]

Hello,

First off, mea culpa — I'm a scanner newbie, and will likely stay that way. I have simple needs, to be honest. And one of those simple needs is to easily, without having to hookup my scanner to a computer, to be able to lockout every System I have programmed, except for one that I want to listen to. I know I can do it with lots of twisting-and-pushing, but I'm curious —*is there a shortcut method for the BC396XT that will allow me to do something like this? Like —*if I am presently listening to a System, some jigging and poking to convey to the device that I want to stay scanning in this System and not any others —*not this *Public Service* generic scan, or any other System I may have programmed.

I could go through the super baroque manual, but I'm hoping someone can just help a fella out.

While scanning the desired system push and hold the 'HOLD' key down until 'system hold on'. To take off system hold do the same until 'off'
