Hi Matty,

1). In Conventional Mode:
        When Seaching and it's stopped on a freq, click MEMory once to add
that
          Frequency & Current Radio Settings to a New Channel in a Temp
Bank.
            (You can add as many new freqs as you want).
        Click Manual to enter Manual Mode...
        Clicking Memory will step through all saved new
frequencies/channels.
        When you want to save them, just click the 'Add Channel' or 'Insert
Channel' in the Edit Menu...
     In Trunking Mode:
        When Searching or Scanning, and it's stopped on a Group, clicking
MEMory will toggle this Group's
           Memory State.  (It determines weither a Group is Scanned or
not...).

2). In Search Mode, the radio will stop on the next Trunk Group seen in the
decoded data stream..
     In Scan Mode, the data stream is monitored and when it sees a call to a
Trunk Group, it compares
       the Group ID to the Groups that have the Memory State Set.  If a
match is found, the radio will
       display that Trunk Group...  (It displays the first match found, not
the next in saved order...).

3). Right now, the only way to Add Channels is through the Menus... (I may
add keyboard shortcuts).


    -- A few other Notes: --
4). When viewing a Dump of the control data, Clicking 'Hold' will pause the
display.  Click 'Dump'
        again to continue viewing...

5). Lock Out Button:
        In Conventional Mode:
          Clicking 'L/Out' will skip the current channel being heard when
scanning...
          When the 'L/O'  Indicator is displayed, clicking 'L/Out' again
will allow a channel to be heard again.
        In Trunking Mode:
          When Searching, click 'L/Out' to Skip the unwanted Trunk Groups
that it stops on...
          When Scanning, clicking 'L/Out' will prevent the Trunk Group from
being heard in
            Search or Scan Mode...
          To Review Groups that have been Locked Out:
            Click Manual Button to enter Manual Mode.
            Click 'L/Out' while holding the 'CTRL' Button will step through
the Groups that are Locked Out...
          When the 'L/O'  Indicator is displayed, clicking 'L/Out' again
will allow a Group to be heard again.

6). Manual Button:
        Coneventional Mode:
            Click Once to place the scanner in Manual Mode.  Repeated
clicking steps to the next channel.
        Trunking Mode:
            Click Once to place the scanner in Manual Mode.  Repeated
clicking steps to the next Group
               that has been set to Scan....
            While in Manual Mode the 'Edit' & 'View' Options are available
under the Trunk Menu.

Hope this helps out a bit more,
Jay
