I think you may all misunderstand what I'm trying to accomplish, my fault for not being clear enough:
In conventional discovery mode not just run of the mill bank or system/dept scanning that most folks seem content with, in manuals and youtube videos theres no mention of holding or pausing or reversing direction during a hit or when conventional discovery is in motion.
Gents, I've read the manuals and watched all the videos. With all due respect to folks who post them and swear by them, the vids are dramatically void of in-depth programming details, and are mainly overviews of functionality.
This is during conventional discovery mode, you know, manually picking two frequencies to scan between? that thing. not just turning on and letting the radio go through the pre-selected systems and departments. That stuff is ok, I'm trying to find new stuff.
tl;dr: Pressing the channel button (or any other button, or knob spin) does not pause a conventional discovery scan even during a hit, and spinning the function knob does not reverse direction of a conventional discovery scan.
