CM300 Scanning

[Vegas_Eric]

Hello,

Having troubles getting my CM300 to scan.

I programmed in 25 frequencies under "Conventional Personalities"

I created a scan list called HAM & under the first Personality I selected the scan list (HAM) that I want to scan.

I selected 16 of the 25 frequencies (Conventional Personalities) and added them to the scan list ham.

When I turn my radio on, I select the first channel that I tagged with Scan List HAM and press P3 which toggles scan on and off. The Z appears and it is in scan mode, but I never pick up any of the traffic on any of the other 16 frequencies.

I can even generate traffic on those freqs and unless I manually turn to those frequencies, the scan feature does not seem to work.

Can anyone offer me any help?

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.

P.S. I am using V R05.12

Did you select the scan list under each conventional personality at the top? You have to add each channel to a scan list if you want to scan them. Is the green light flashing while it is scanning?

Thank you for the help. As I learn more about this radio and the programming that goes along with it, the more I learn just how much I don't know about the radio... LOL

As it turns out. I did not have the Mic plugged into the radio. Under the Scan List I has Off-Hook Suspends Scan" feature set to (Suspend All Scan). So that explains why the scan function was not work. I have since disabled the Off-Hook Suspends Scan feature and the scan feature works great without the mic plugged into the radio.
