This is making me crazy. I have the BCD996P2 and have programmed it using FreeScan and RadioReference data. The frequencies are programmed, and they work fine.
When I turn the radio on (and almost immediately press the “Hold” button), the stations I programmed come up immediately, and I can switch between them using the tuning knob. So far, so good.
The problem comes in when I hit the scan button. It goes through the systems I entered and then continues through the interminable list of “service stations” Racing, Air, Hams, and so forth. There are many of these systems, and it wastes a huge amount of time going through all of them.
How can I simply turn on the radio and let it scan through the dozen or systems that I have programmed in without all the other stuff?
I *THINK* I have the system quick keys programmed correctly, and I CAN hear calls on the frequencies. It’s just the scanning part of all this that’s causing me headaches.
Is there a “Turn off service scan” button somewhere in FreeScan? On the radio itself?
