Scan List question

[W4KRR]

This question likely pertains to many models, but here I'm talking about the MTX9250.

Can I have more Scan Lists than I have Channel Zones? For example, I have Zone 1 (A) for local systems, and Zone 2 (B) for out of the area systems. For simplicity, I have Scan List 1 containing all the channels that are in Zone 1, and Scan List 2 has everything that is in Zone 2. Now, I want to create Scan List 3 that scans some channels (but not all) from Zone 1 and some from Zone 2. Is this workable? I mean, I can select Zones, but there's no way to select a Scan List, unless I'm missing something.

And on a related note, can a Scan List contain trunked talk groups from different systems?

I think the best way to accomplish what you want is to create duplicate personalities but strap them to scan list 3. Another way would be to use one scan list, edit all your personalities to strap them to the single scan list and then edit your scan list manually as needed form the menu or programmed button. Yet another option would be to just edit one of your current scan lists as needed.

On the related note, yes they can. You can also have conventional channels in the same list.
