Delay Function
When your PRO-30 is scanning, it will stop whenever it finds a signal
on a channel. As soon as the signal ends, the scanning function will
resume. Most communications heard will be two-way. To make sure
you don't miss any replies, press E-ELAV]. This will cause your
PRO-30 to stay on a channel for two seconds after the end of a
transmission, giving you time to hear any reply. To release the delay
function, press IDELAYI again. The delay indicator will show on the
display when the delay function is used.
Lockout Function
You might want your PRO-30 to skip over certain frequencies while
it's scanning (such as continuously transmitted weather broadcasts).
To lock out such channels, follow these steps:

show LOCK-OUT, to indicate that this channel will be skipped
over during scanning.
