Recently had a 996P2 programmed by Scanner Master...but, that's another story yet to be dealt with. So, I am attempting (miserably) to acquaint myself with the operation of the 996P2. Somehow, through inadvertence, I did something: the radio now does a general band scan/search whenever a preprogrammed frequency is inactive. So, it will stop to receive on a programmed channel and then start a general band scan then stop when there is activity on another programmed channel and then start a general band scan, etc. Do not want a band scan function in between reception of programmed channels. How does one turn off this feature which I inadvertantly activated? Aiyeeeeee!

This explains how to deactivate the Broadcast Screen.
Look under the Search/Close Call Options Menu.
Good luck!

If I'm reading your post right it sounds like you have a service search or custom search band assigned to a system.
Menu.
Search for...
Edit Service.
Pick the service search that's being scanned. i.e Public Safety.
Search with Scan.
Set Quick Key.
Make it a decimal (.) to omit from the system/s you're scanning.
Consequently, you can also search up to 10 custom search ranges along with your programmed systems.
Menu.
Search for...
Edit Custom.
Chose the Custom search range 1 though 10.
Search with Scan.
Set Quick Key.
Set it as a decimal (.).
This may be a process of elimination, but with these instructions you now know how it works.
Refer to my post here on a quick low down on how to manually program.
I can't even... LOL
When I got my first digital capable scanner in circa 2004 I just dove right in. Seldom ever using the manual. Even today with my P2's I bought on eBay. LOL In a nutshell I'm pretty damn technically inclined... Do you wanna know how to use bleed air from the APU in a 737 to start the engines? I can even show you how to program the damn FMC/FMS (Flight Management System) And when I'm playing Call of Duty I like to bake cookies in the adversary's rear end HAHAHA!
