Why even do that? It's only 256 possible values, so the scanner could do it for you.

I imagine that they could implement a function that works just like the PL/DPL search mode: You'd simply park the scanner on the control channel and then select "ESK Search" or something like that from the menu. It would then try all the possible values, checking for valid EDACS data on the control channel with each one. When it finds one that works, you'd hear the familiar 2 beeps and you'd press Enter to lock it in. Voila, all done.

How hard would that be to implement? I'm guessing that it would be pretty easy.
