I've reviewed the posts addressing the scanner cutting out during a transmission. I completely disabled CC and all the priorities I had designated. I was never able to determine if it was a simulcast issue or not until I discovered accidently that MY scanner stopped cutting out when ProScan is closed. Obviously, I tested my theory and that was the problem. An easy fix would be nice!

By cutting out, is the scanner resuming scanning after about 2 or 5 seconds? Make sure Resume Scan/Search is disabled in the Scanner Control. This is located in the upper right of the virtual display, you may need to click the "SC" box to expand to show the option.

Set Delay Time sets the delay (in seconds) the amount of time the scanner stays on a channel after the transmission has ended before moving to the next channel. A negative delay will force a resume after that number of seconds. This setting applies to all channels in the system. You cannot set the delay on a 'per channel' basis. The default setting is 2 seconds.
Scroll to 'Set Delay Time' and press E/●.
Scroll to the desired delay time (-10, -5, -2, 0, 1, 2, 5, 10, or 30 secs.) and press E/● to save and exit.
the negative makes the radio go back to scanning. forced scan.
