Anytone 578 Bridgecom | stopping scan and holding the channel

[jmueller0823]

I just completed a 3-month wait while Bridgecom support found a “solution” for this… now, seems that was really not a solid fix after all.

Here’s what I have:

• while scanning a scan list…
• if I hear something interesting and want to stop on that channel…
• how do you do that?

BC suggested modifying the keys on my mic so one button stops scanning on the active channel and the other button will simply stop/restart the scan. But this is inconsistent.

Seems like a common function (what good is scan if you can’t stop, listen, and talk.)

Anyone? Thanks, group.

Could a push of the “menu” button do the job ?
(assigning this “menu” item to one of the mic buttons could help, as per Bridgecom suggestion).

I seem to remember that on the 878 portables. A push of the menu button stops the scan on the active channel.

Being able to talk on *that* channel once stopped on it, requires setting a parameter on the cps to instruct the radio to do just that (instead of transmitting on the last used channel, for example).

I’m sure others will chime in and complete my suggestion with more precise info… sorry it’s been many moons since I used my Anytone.

Tap the PTT, scan will stop.
