i.e. I'm in Memory Bank 1 with 30 repeaters and I'm scanning. The repeater on line 10 is malfunctioning and breaks the squelch so the scan pauses only to listen to static for the 5 secs I have programmed.
Is there any way to quickly select that memory/repeater to skip it while scanning? Ideally, when the radio is turned off, then back on again, the skip would not be saved. But, if there is a quick way to skip that channel then just go back in and clear the skip menu I'd be happy.

Thanks for any intel/help.

crud...thanks. I guess it would help if I used the search on my ipad better when searching docs. i.e. pay attention to which specific doc is open.
Thank you

Unfortunately, the Skip Memory function is described in the advanced manual:

I doubt it. The function you are thinking of is called 'Nuisance Delete'. Its generally a normal feature on LMR radios, but I haven't seen it on a ham radio.

Generally, with ham gear, a channel is either scanned or not.

With many LMR radios, you can have multiple scan lists, some times by zone, or by a selected channel.

Yes, nuisance delete would be a nice feature, but I've never seen it on an amateur radio. And, deleting a channel from the scan list is often a PITA.

The FT-5D does have multiple scan lists, 24, I think. Each memory can be assigned to multiple lists.
