Gps?

Are start up keys for use with GPS only? I was trying to use them with the GPS off
and it seems to work as described in the manual, but can not exit the mode without
reprogramming the start up key assignments as far as I can tell.

What do you mean "normal" scanning? It doesn't scan unless you hold the startup key?

In start up mode the scanner only scans the systems programmed with the chosen
start up key# all others are locked out.
Normal scanning meaning resuming scanning of all other systems that were locked out
by the start up fuction.

You press the buttons to reenable them.

In start up mode, all systems you programmed with that key are enabled. Any programmed with another key are disabled. Those programmed with no key are not affected.

The buttons are all ready enabled there just not being scanned,tried pressing it
anyway and the result was going from 1 to * being displayed and then from *
to 1 being displayed.This is while start up key 7 is selected.

They are locked out, scroll to the system in question and either Func-L/O or edit the system.

Scroll to unlock

I thought there would be an easier way to do this other than system by system.
It is much easier to activate start up keys than it is to deactivate.

Use the startup key for the systems you have locked out, when you turn it on they'll be automatically unlocked.

I have all systems unlocked as a rule,but I if want to access one of them quickly,
the start up fuction is perfect for that, problem is its not as easy to go back to
scanning all the systems.

Assign all your systems to SK1. Make a duplicate of the system you normally scan by itself and assign it to SK2. To unlock all systems (and lock the duplicate) hold 1 while powering on. To lock all systems and unlock the duplicate, hold 2 while powering on.
