Every scanner I've owned has buttons for MANual & SCAN modes. Some also have an Advance or UP and DOWN. On the SDS-100 I see no way to "step through" channels. More importantly, I see no way to tell the scanner to just scan on ahead even though the channel it's stopped on is still talking.
I'll explain further. I listen to a lot of channels and have several units going at once. Every now and then two units stop on the same thing (although one might be via a direct frequency and the other is trunked). All I want to do is tell the SDS-100 to GO. I do NOT want to Avoid the channel. There's enough programmed that by the time it gets back around it will either stop somewhere else and/or the channel will be quiet.
Pressing any number key or . brings up the FF.SS.DD display. Pressing Avoid I don't want to do. Pressing Zip brings me there. Pressing E seems to take me to the Menu. Only other options include the Function. Is is another BASIC thing left out of this scanner?
