Re: Scanner is Locked Up

Just a vague hope ...

When the keylock flashes, it usually means the 245 is in computer-control / 
clone mode.  Hold down the E key to clear it.

However, I've never seen the channel number flash in sympathy or had the 
scanner lock on the receive.

It's worth trying the E key though.  Maybe it's a couple of things.

Also, from a quick Google search:

>>Is there some sort of key combination to hold down and then turn radio
>>on, to re-set the radio, or is there some other solution.

>2 - Hold 2, 9 and MAN while turning it ON.

Of course if you do this you will lose all memory in the radio
and need to reprogram...

Subject: [BC245XLT] Scanner is Locked Up


I am experiencing a problem that I have never seen before with my scanner. 
When I turn it on the channel number indicator and the key lock icon flash 
simultaneously and nothing that I have tried will get it to release. The 
scanner will then lock on the first channel that it receives traffic on and 
will not release from that channel.

I know that there is a combination of keys that can be pressed to reset the 
scanner, but I just can't remember what that combination of keys is. I am 
willing to reprogram all the channels I have in the scanner to get it to 
reset if necessary.

Please advise.

Thanks,
Marc Melane
