I have a Pro 107 and I decided to program it with all of the frequencies from my Motorola MR350R. 1-14 (FRS) play back through my scanner just fine, but when I get to 15-22 (GMRS), my scanner freaks out a little.
I have the backlight for each object set to "on": so that it remains off in general (unless I hit a key), but comes on during reception so I can see the screen in the evenings and night.
When I xmit on channels 1-14, it comes through loud and clear, no breakup at all. When I key up 15-22, it will lock onto the channel most of the time, but the second I start talking, the scanner's backlight flashes off for a brief moment, and then the scanner scans forward to either of the two FRS frequencies that are above/below the GMRS frequency and locks on to one of those, and the backlight comes back on when it acquires the new channel. E.g., when I key up on Ch 21, it will lock on until I speak, and then it flips forward to either 6 or 7. Here's a channel table to help those who aren't familiar with the frequencies.
Even when I have the scanner on pause, the backlight will turn on when I key up, but when I start talking on the GMRS channel it shuts off, but obviously won't scan forward since it's paused. I've tried putting ATT on for all of those channels, thinking maybe it's just coming in too hot, but that didn't change a single thing.
For the record, I program it via the GRECOM EZ Scan-SD software since I can't find my RS software and it's not supplied online.
Anyone have an idea as to what's going on?
