XTS3000 User selectable scan list?

[W4KRR]

Is it possible to set up the XTS3000 (model 3) for a user selectable scan list? (all conventional channels).

I have set up scan lists, and the A/B/C switch is set up for: Scan on/scan off/scan program. But in the scan program position, "SEL" and "DEL" are shown on the screen, but it will not allow me to select or deselect any channel (I get the low "boop" tone when I try it). The orange top button is set for Nuisance scan delete, but when you turn the channel knob any deleted channel is then unlocked.

Scan does work, but only within the pre established lists. I would like to be able to choose, on the radio, what channels to scan, like you can on the HT1000, JT1000, MT1000, etc.

The Personality list has a scan tab, but there seems to be more than that needed to set this up. The Scan Lists seems to be just for setting up permanent scan lists.

Can someone tell me how to set this up to do what I want?

It should...

I'd have someone double-check the program setup. It SHOULD work if the SEL and DEL is visible....

Make sure in the Scan List dialog, "General" tab, that "Priority 1", "Priority 2", and "Non-Priority Members" are ALL set to "Operator Select". You likely have them on "Fixed".

Yep, that was the issue. Fixed now.

One last question: I know the "Z" icon on the display indicates scanning is on, but what is the significance of the small dot to the lower right of the Z scan icon? (sometimes flashing, sometimes not). The only thing I can figure it indicates is a priority channel?

 

[Jay911]

Exactly. Dot = priority 1, flashing dot = priority 2. No dot = non-priority.

Isn't it flashing dot = priority 1, steady dot = priority 2?

Could be. I was (and still am) pretty exhausted and not thinking straight.

Are you able to scan a couple of talkgroups in the same system and a couple of conventional channels at the same time?

When trying to set up a scan list, the radio will only allow trunked talkgroups, conventional channel shows SEL & DEL but only gets a bonk when either is pushed.
