Ok, then, press SCAN. You should see some or all of the numbers 1-0 on the display. Press the keypad numbers until only the "2" appears (each keypress toggles a bank). It is now scanning only Bank 2. If you want to test to see if it is really scanning, program the local weather channel into one of the channels. The scanner will quickly stop on that channel. Press scan again and the scanner will almost (but not quite) immediately stop on the weather channel again. Next time it stops, press L/O to lock out the weather channel. The scanner will now continuously be scanning Bank 2. Nothing much happens now until someone transmits on one of the programmed frequecies.
