Try this. Press MANUAL, press 000. Look at the screen, the first line on the screen should be:
M000FM 154.00000
second line:
pri DLY lo +, or,
PRI DLY LO +
If you see LO, this means the frequency is Locked Out. If you see lo, this means the frequency is not locked out. If you see no frequency in Bank 0, channel number 000, this means that there is nothing programmed into this channel. You can confirm what is programmed into the scanner by just press MANUAL and verifying what is programmed into all 1,000 channels.
Third line should show any alphatags you have stored on the channel for that frequency.
Fourth line should show what mode that channel is in: CT for ctcss, DC for dcs, MOT for motorola, ED edacs, LTR, or, nothing at all.
When scanning, the first line shows what banks are being scanned, indicated by the the numbers 0 through 9 flashing. It should also show either pri/PRI. Lower case pri means priority is not turned on, PRI means it is.
Second line should show either a +/-. Plus sign means the bank is in OPEN mode, minus sign means it is in CLOSED mode.
Fourth line is the bank alphatag. This lets you know what is programmed into that bank. One of my banks is tagged DNR/Forestry.
