CDM1250 Hold On Channel When In Scan

[chassed]

This is what Im trying to do. Im trying to be able to set the radio to scan but want it to hold on the channel that I was on before I hit scan. Right now it goes to the channel I have set as the TX channel.

For example if Im on Channel 1 and I hit scan it then displays channel 2 which is set as the TX channel when in scan.

What I want is when on channel 1 and I hit scan it continues to display channel 1 But when I TX it goes to channel 2.

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks

Check to see if Priority Monitor is enabled.

Fixed Voice Tx Members only work then the Scan Type field is set "Conventional" or "Voting Scan"; and do not work when set to "Priority Monitor" or "Talkgroup" scan.

Check to see if Priority Monitor is enabled.

Yes I do have priority scan on and set to the first channel. But it still Displays channel 2 on scan

I'm not totally understanding how you are explaining it, but I think you want it to stay on the selected channel when in scan mode. If that is true, then go to your scan list. Use the drop down and make sure that <Selected> is in the scan list. Then move <Selected> to position 1. That way, the radio displays whatever channel you have currently selected.

I have my CDM's set up that way with one of the conventional buttons programmed for Home so I can always jump to my primary channel when needed.

Then Fixed TX is not going to work. You must not have Priority Monitor on for it to work.

Yes that is how I want it. I did this and it still does not stay on the channel I was on.

In my scan list it goes
1 <Selected>
2 Conventional 1
3 conventional 2

Conventional 1 is the channel I want always displayed and is the channel that I keep pressing scan on but it keep switching to Conventional 2. which is the channel that I want the radio to scan and and is set up as the TX channel when on scan.

May be that helped enplane it better?

Under Scan List > Tx Configuration tab check and make sure the Personality is set to Conventional-1.

This would get it to stay on that channel But I want it to TX on Conventional 2.

It is not going to work the way you want it to because you have Priority Monitor enabled.

Sorry I forgot to say that I have all priority disabled in the scan list.

Basics:

What shows in the display when the radio is in scan but not landed on any active channel in the scan list is called the "selected channel." Selected channel is dictated by the channel selector, not the scan list.

The function of the TX designation is to establish what channel will be transmitted on if you hit the Tx button while the radio is landed on a channel in the scan list. "SelChan" means it you will always transmit on the selected channel, and this is highly recommended. "Talkback" means that you will transmit on the landed channel (if you key quick enough), and can be dangerous. "Fixed" means that you will be transmitting on the programmed channel, and it can lead to missed communications.
