copied from UUCP: Newsgroups: rec.ham-radio 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. I wrote this up for Monitoring Times; it appeared there a couple of years ago. 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. -Greg N1DEM
