What's up y'all.

I'm a pretty green BC125AT user. Went to Indy 500 open testing today to listen and see what I could find. Towards the ends of the session I fiddled with the search feature, to potentially find some driver freqs I didn't already have. So I have a couple q's:

I'm trying to custom search 452.0000-470.0000. Is there a way to set up the 125AT to search all those freq's and automatically save all discovered freq's to a bank of my choosing? So I can go back another time and have a smaller list to check through?

When searching the same bank, is it possible to automatically exclude/skip/lockout freq's I already have saved in other banks? For example I already know 454.6789 is XX Driver's freq and I already have that saved. I ran into a problem where I would be like "sweet, a new frequency!" and go to save that freq and then discover I already had it saved somewhere else. Wasted time trying to find new freq's I didn't already have.

And last q: let's say I do a T/LO on 452.5678 when using search. When search reaches the upper limit of my search range and repeats searching that block, will the T/LO reset? Should I T/LO or LO freqs when doing search? If that makes sense. Appreciate the responses, wanting to learn!

Page 55 of the user manual describes how

I don't believe so

Per Page 55 of the afore-linked manual, temp lock outs are only cleared when the scanner is turned off

It describes how to manually add channels from search, not what I'm looking to do automatically.
when at the track, try close call.

Close Call™ RF Capture Technology - you can set the scanner so it detects and provides information about nearby radio transmissions.
Yeah I tried Close Call Only today when there was plenty of radio traffic flying around, but got nada. Go figure.

Well that's the only way to do it with a 125AT. To do it automatically you'll need to upgrade to at least (I believe) a BCD325p2: More $, more features
