Regency MX7000/MX5000 stop search function

 *****************************************************************************

Subject: Regency MX7000/MX5000 stop search function

here is a handy way to get the scanner to automatically

stop searching when it hits an active frequency and remain there until

it is re-started manually.  

With the scanner stopped on any channel using the MANUAL key, press

CLOCK SET followed by ENTER.  Now enter at least one numeric digit, but do

not press ENTER after keying in the digit(s).  Instead, press SCAN.

If you shut the scanner off, you will notice that the clock is not 

running.  The digit(s) that you entered is displayed.  Now use the

search feature as you normally would.  When it hears a signal, it will

stop and remain on that frequency.  After the signal ceases, pressing

any key that would normally give you an "error beep" (such as the ENTER

key) will restart the search from where it left off.  If you do not wish

to wait for the signal to go away before restarting the search, press

the UP key until it is gone, then press a key to produce the "error

beep."

To re-start the clock after you're through using the search-hold feature,

just use the normal clock-set method.  Incidentally, the priority feature

will not work if the clock is not running.
