Data Skip
A scanner will normally stop on any transmission it receives. This means the BC780XLT will
occasionally stop on data signals and unmodulated transmissions. You can automatically
skip many of these types of transmissions during search. To activate the data skip feature,
enter into the menu mode.
1. Press MENU.
2. Press
▲ or ▼ to select SYSTEM DATA and then press E.
3. Press
▲ or ▼ to select DATA SKIP and then press E.
4. Set to ON using
▲, ▼ or VFO and then press E.
DATA appears on the display.
When data skip is active, your scanner may pause momentarily on an unwanted signal but
will resume searching in 2 or 3 seconds. Data Skip does not function during AM/WFM band
scan, chain search, or WX search, Priority Scan, and Trunking Mode.
Frequency Skip
If a particular frequency continues to interrupt search scanning, it is possible to set your
scanner to skip the frequency.
To skip over a frequency, press L/O when stopping at the frequency you want
to skip.
Note: • You can program up to 200 skip frequencies.
The 201st skip frequency entered causes the
first skipped frequency to unlock.
• If all frequencies in the search range are set to
skip, it moves to Search hold mode.
To resume searching, do as follows:
1) Cancel the frequency skip set, or
2) Reset the search frequency range.
To cancel all skipped frequencies, press and hold L/O for 2 seconds.
