I was wondering if anyone knows how to scan more than 16 channels, I can make different scan banks but dont know how to scan them. ie what do you put it on to scan "scan bank 2".

16 is the max per scan list.

I think N1GTL is right. You can only scan 16 channels at a time. You can set up different banks of 16 channels and have to push buttons to get to the bank you want to listen to. I don't find the scan feature to be too great. Radio has a slow default scan speed for the scan to kick back to your primary channel. Scan speed is adjustable via programming software.

I know there is only 16 ch. per scan, I am trying to figure out if I have 16ch set in first scan bank and 16 in the 2nd scan back how do I get the second scan bank to scan. What do I have to put on the radio. ie the first scan bank I have all on the town I live in, the second scan bank I made is what I need to scan when I am working. How do I switch from the first to the second scan bank. Thanks

Each channel has a scan list assigned. Whatever channel you are on when you enable scan, that is the list that will be scanned.

It is simple to understand once you get it but kind of hard to explain.

Create 2 scan lists, LIST 1 and LIST 2. LIST 1 should scan channels 1 - 16 and list 2 should scan channels 17 - 32.

In channels 1 - 16, assign each channel to LIST 1. It is one of the tabs in the personality. You have to go to EVERY CHANNEL and select LIST 1 in the dropdown.

In channels 17 - 32, assign each channel to LIST 2.

Now, when you are in ZONE 1 (1-16) and enable scan, it will scan those channels.

When you are in ZONE 2 (17-32), it will scan those channels.

Clear as mud, huh?

yes it should work like that even if you put one chan that is in your first list in the second list say you have ch 1 -16 in list 1and you want ch 1 in your second scan list you can do that too thats the way i have my radio set up ch 5 has a diff scan then the rest but i still have ch 1 in my second scan list
