Priority & Channel LOCK-OUT on M1225?

[john98225]

Just got a M1225 operational. The so-called "Operator Guide" leaves a lot to be desired as far as I'm concerned. Maybe the radio does, too ...

Anyway, please correct me if I'm wrong but it seems the user cannot indefinitely lock-out a channel. Once you lock one out and turn the radio off, it's back the next time you power up. If there IS a way for the user to "set" the scan list (like every other radio and scanner I've owned), please let me know.

Also, there doesn't seem to be a way to toggle the priority function. It's always active. Is that true?

Thanks again in advance for your help.

If you want to indefinitely lock out a channel you probably have to do it using the rss/cps software. When locking a channel out by the front pannel it is only temporary.

Thanks for the reply. I've got the seller/programmer looking into that for me. Hopefully it can be done!

You can have it programmed so that the user (you) can modify the scan list as you see fit. If you want to add/delete a channel from the scan list, you can. You can also change the priority channel if you wish. I think this has to be enabled in the software though. With the scan OFF, press and hold the scan key, if the display starts flashing, you are in the scan-list modification. If you only hear a low-tone beep after a second or two, the feature is currently disabled. Hope this is what you're asking. Hope it helps.

Oh, I meant to add this, if you can enter the scan-list modification screen, an "A" on the screen represents that particular channel is IN the scan list, a "B" on a certain channel represents that THAT is the current PRIORITY channel. Hope this helps.

giles391rescue - you're a lifesaver!!! That worked great. I was able to modify the scan list and change the priority channel. Thank you SO much!
