BCD396XT - Band Scanning?

[raedeus]

I apologize if this has been answered but I've searched the forum without finding an answer...

Does the BCD396XT have a band scanning mode like the older Uniden's where you could scan the Air band for example? I do not want to have to create a group and manually add every frequency in the Air band. I would like to just scan the range and toggle it on and off. Perhaps there is an easy way to do this or maybe not. Thanks in advance.
