How to get out of ID search with 346?

ID search should not have anything to do with losing your vhf.Sounds like you accidentally shut of the Quick Key you had assigned to your vhf freqs.Or by any chance is an F flashing in the upper left hand corner? If it is you are holding on your trunked system press the Func key to get out of it.If it is neither of those two things then we will need to dig deeper.

On the 346 you have to hit the FUNC key first, then the SCAN key to toggle between ID SCAN/SEARCH

ID search 
ID search is nice,when its trunked you will get the talkgroups you dont have
through radio reference.Its probably just the quickkeys .How you liking the 346XT?

ok, i was not awere of that.....thanks
When scanning a trunked system, the scanner is going to show either ID Scan or ID Search, depending on the scan mode for that system. As mentioned above, to switch between ID Scan and ID Search, press F+SCAN while scanning that system. If you do not want it to show either ID Scan or ID Search, you need to turn off the trunked system you are scanning.
Patience is a virtue.
If you have a copy of Windows you could install under VirtualBox (free hypervisor). That should work, although as I recall you need another - also free - package to get VirtualBox to map the USB ports to the virtual machine. I know, complicated, but that should point you in a possible direction to look at.

CHAN (to hold on a Channel) then F+6/WX (long press) will do that.
