BC785D Active Banks, HOW??

[kb0nly]

Ok, let me first tell you how its setup...

Bank 1 Conventional
Bank 2 Trunking
Bank 3 Trunking

Let's say its scanning, doing ID Scan on the two trunking banks. When its scanning on Bank 1 and i decide to shut off Bank 1 i tap the number 1 key and now its just scanning Banks 2 & 3..

Problem is, how the heck do i now turn Bank 1 back on as the scanner now never shows the active bank list it just shows the Scanlist's for each of the trunking banks.

The only way i have found to do this is run ARC250, go to the virtual control, the scan tab, and then turn off the scan on the scanner, then double click on Bank 1 to turn it back on, and then turn on scan again.

How do you set the active banks on the scanner in this situation without having to use the computer??

I went through the manual a half dozen times and can't find any explanation.

Hit the period key, puts you in bank mode, turn on bank 1 and hit the period key again, puts you back where you were, Scan List Mode.

Have you tried just hitting the Search key?

There we go!! Thanks Highpockets, that's the secret shortcut that i needed. If its in the manual i can't find it for the life of me.

I did try hitting the search key, tried everything before i posted. Hitting search just takes me to the predefined search ranges, weather, news, broadcast, etc.. Then if i hit manual or scan it just goes back to where it was when i hit search, so that doesn't work.

That period key sure does though!!
