XPR XPR 6550 won't scan

[rustyjw]

I'm programming an xpr6550. I can enter channels into the scan list in the cps. I also set a button on the radio to turn the scan feature on and off. When I write the radio, the scan feature is not active.


Any thoughts on why it won't scan?

In the frequency section of each channel, you have to assign the channels into a scan list. This would be very close to where you set the color code.

I did that and the scan feature still won't activate.

And you then made the list of channels you want to scan at the bottom of the tree on the left side of your computer screen?

If you are talking about the SCAN LIST section of that tree on the left hand side, yes. I made a scan list then entered into the scan list selection on the right hand window.

Not sure about the 6550, but on the 7550 I also have to select the scan list I want to use, using the menu, even if I set it in the CPS. Any time I write to the radio from the CPS the active scan list gets removed and it defaults to None, which in turn does nothing when I press the scan button. As soon as I set the active list, it works like a charm.

Have you assigned a button to turn scanning on? Do you have the radio set to auto scan? WhAt is your firmware? Are you willing to send me your codeplug to take a look at it? TT

you have to assign each channel to a scan list as well.
