Scratch that. Works like a charm. Ever grateful, thank you[emoji3]
Ok. I did try it on my latest radio and I noticed some differences from what I stated above.
It is the CT (or DCS) that flashes to indicate scanning, not the black triangle.
Also, it appears that for this to work, the radio must be in VFO (frequency) mode.
And lastly, you do have to select the the tone setting (anything besides OFF) by pressing [MENU]. If menu 14 is enabled you will hear "confirmed". Then you must open menu 11 again by pressing [MENU] and now you can finally initiate scanning.
Quite a bit different than how it worked when it was introduces roughly 3.5 years ago.
