APX 8000 scan List

[dustinw251]

I have an APX 8000XE, I setup the scanlist button on my menu like I have on my 4000's. the only thing is on my 8000 it does not allow me to edit the scan list but will show it from the screen which I can on my 4000's. Any ideas what I need to setup or enable for this to happen or is this possible at all? Or is it because I have it scanning both the p25 and the conventional channels at the same time?

Got the link working, but it still doesn't answer my question or I am mis reading Is there a way to enable the functionality of modifying the scan list from the front screen. when I hit the scanl button it brings up the scan list. even when I take it out of multisystem scan and put it to the trunking channels only, it still does not allow me to edit the list. It will bring the Scan list up but no edit functionality will show which does on my 4000's!!

Make sure the "non-priority members" is OPERATOR SELECT and you have several UNASSIGNED rows in the scan list. The number of unassigned rows will be the number of channels your users can add.

There is a good chance you might not be able to edit the scan list from the radio keypad if it is not configured as "Operator Select" in the programming software. What other folks describe above requires you have access to APX CPS and an APX programming cable.
If you have both of the above then you need to make sure the following things match up:
1) In "Scan Configuration" the "Priority Assignment" make sure the choices have "Operator Select" as choices. Then make sure you have blank "Unassigned" scan list members. Folks forget about this but if you only give yourself 5 scan list members then you will only be able to select a max of 5 scan list channels. If you give yourself 20 scan list members but only use 10 then you still have 10 blank scan list members to use.
2) In the Personalities (Trunked or conventional) in the "Features" section make sure the scan list from #1 is selected. THIS IS IMPORTANT. If you do not associate scan lists with their respective personality (again trunked or conventional) then you won't be able to add channels/talkgroups from the personalities to a scanlist.

Then again if you don't have CPS or a programming cable take your radio to an authorized MSS and have them do the above for you.

I do believe that number one is going to be my issue. I didnt think about that when setting up in the beginning. Im pretty certain operator selectable is already selected at the moment

This is what I call the "CPS Scan Triangle"...remember it and you will be fine...

I train folks to remember that all 3 parts of the triangle have to match up:
--The Personality has to match up with the Scan list
--The Scan List has to match up with the Zone/Channel.
--The Zone Channel has to match up with both the Personality and the Scan List.

You follow the above you will be golden.

Worked like a charm, However due to the fact I had it set on a multisystem I had to set the non-priority members to operator select. now I'm able to adjust the scan list from Conventional or from the trunking zones! Thanks again for the help guys, have a great evening I'm sure Ill have something else before long .
