Hey yall...Im kinda new so bare with me....I have figured out how to program all the frequencies and everything and I know how to put it into MO mode to see the names I tagged to the stations, however when I hit scan it never stops on an active channel, but I am able to hear activity in MANl mode, but I have to hit up and down to search through all the channels I prog...if I hit MAN and then mode and change everthing to FM and scan, it stops when there is activity but none of my tags show up. VERY FRUSTRATING!!!
