...appreciate reply.

So far, it's going well, but I wonder if there is a way of
`locking out' channels while scanning like the more modern
scanners.

Try entering the channel number you want to lock out while the radio is
scanning. To unlock the channel press the channel number again while the
radio is scanning.
