NX-5000 scan list usage?

[KD9RTX]

Ran into an issue with my NX-5800 when assigning a scan list to a zone. Probably something simple I'm missing so I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction.

I created a scan list consisting of about half the channels in a zone and one channel from another zone. The scan list has been assigned in the zone settings and the scan type changed to list. One button has been assigned the Scan function on a short press and the Normal Scan function on a long press. Both of these functions work as expected when the zone scan type is set to single but when set to list, neither function works.

Am I misunderstanding how the scan lists are supposed to work? It is there some nuance that I'm missing?

I'm not sure what you are asking but one thing to know is that when you set a zone to single it resets the list affiliations. You have to re-associate to proper list or to zone common.

I will double check that the scan list is still associated with the zone, though I remember checking that. Basically when setting the zone scan type to list and associating a scan list, my scan buttons do nothing.

Figured it out. I hadn't noticed that each channel in the zone channel list had a scan list setting. Setting them to Zone Common fixed it.

Good deal! User set priority doesn’t really work either.
