Very similar issue with Priority Scan here. I have been trying to resolve this for the last week and have not come up with a solution yet.
I have XTS5000 radio that monitors HAM P25 channel, local analog public safety channels and one GMRS channel that is set up to be Priority 1 while scanning.
I am experiencing two issues while scanning with priority channel enabled:
1) When the radio lands on P25 HAM channel and the priority #1 GMRS channel will have traffic on it, the radio does not switch to the priority channel as it should.
2) When the radio lands on an analog channel, the Priority #1 GMRS channel will intermittently take priority (but very seldom) over the other analog channels.
a) The switch to priority GMRS channel happens more often when non-priority conventional channel
has no PL tone set up.
One thing to note, is that when the radio lands on the conventional channel i do hear distinct brakes in audio as the radio is monitoring a priority channel for activity. I know this as brake in audio corresponds to the "Time between priority samples (ms)" setting in the CPS.
Thanks everyone and i hope we will be able to resolve this annoying deficiency of commercial grade radios.
