The Baofeng/Poxfung UV-6 is the nearest thing to a scanner I have found.
It has 8 Groups (like Banks) holding 16 freqs. in each Group. The Groups can be scanned or all 128 channels can be scanned.
Be aware, there are at least two other UV-6 varieties that do NOT have this capability; the
the UV-6R and the UV-B6 and there may be others.
Scanning
The UV-6 has 8 Groups (Banks) that can store 16 freqs. in each Group. Each Group can be scanned or all 128 freqs. can be scanned. The green light blinks while scanning.
Scanning Modes (Can only be set using software)
1. Time Scanning Mode has a 5 second delay after stopping.
2. Carrier Scanning Mode has a 3 second delay after stopping.
3. Search Scanning Mode. After stopping on a signal the green light blinks slowly and you
can transmit on that channel by pushing the PTT button. Press MONI to continue scanning.
Scan Groups
1. Channels 1-16
2. Channels 17-32
3. Channels 33-48
4. Channels 49-64
5. Channels 65-80
6. Channels 81-96
7. Channels 97-112
8. Channels 113-128
To Scan a Group
1. Turn radio OFF.
2. Turn Channel Selector (middle knob) to the Group you want to scan.
3. HOLD the 【MONI】and【PF1】buttons while turning the radio ON.
To Scan all 128 channels
1. Turn radio OFF.
2. Turn Channel Selector (middle knob) to #16.
3. HOLD the 【MONI】and【PF1】buttons while turning the radio ON.
4. ??? If Dual Standby is ON, Press the PTT to transmit on the selected freq. ???
(Their "Chinglish" is not very clear, but this is my best effort at "translating" it).
