346XT Hold malfunction

[TheRover]

My 346XT has 6 systems I use, all group 1. A sqk is assigned for each. When I press scan, the hold icon continues flashing, and it will not go through the systems toggling the individual skq #s on and off like it usually does. It only scans one system and will not go through the systems shown as activated ( not shown as *) in the sqk display. What gives ? Should I return the radio to Uniden ? I purchased a remanufactured radio from Uniden direct. It does not matter if I activate 1, 2 or all 6 systems, it will not scan more than 1 at a time.



I just found and solved the problem by pressing and holding the hold button, turning off the lock....

Depress the HOLD key for three seconds to turn off system hold mode.

Glad you found out it is a feature and not a "malfunction".
It is called System Hold and is a great feature to have handy so that you can
concentrate on scanning one system while not having to deselect the other systems being scanned.
Happy Monitoring
