So basically when scanning if I take another radio same RX Freq and use a different...

    Monitor USPS?

    Anyone ever hear the US Postal Service? Theres a large facility close to me and I've scanned 406 to 408 and the Federal band on SDS200 and I think I've only ever heard some kind of truck yard freq? I think it's DMR, but I've never found anything else.

    What tone "type" is this?

    Dispatch tone. I've heard it in a couple of different places. Is there a classification of this tone? Place to find the raw/recreation? (Taken from Springfield, MA FD)

BUT... how do you set it up to where...

    GD-77 VFO scanning!

    How can I make the scan stop on the current channel in vfo mode? It always jumps to the beginning. Very annoying when you pass up a transmission and can't go back to the frequency. I can't find any documentation on "search" mode either. Carrier and time were self explanatory.

    APX 7000 Scanning Beep

    I have recently programmed my APX and when scanning I'm getting a beep when switching between channels. I have looked in the Scan Wide and Radio Profiles but didn't see anything that jumped out to me. Does anyone else know where I might find out where the setting is located?
