Scott,

I'm assuming you can't have a priority channel while in Group Scan? I tried a bunch of tweaks, but don't have the radio checking for priority during group scan. I thought the manual says you can set a priority channel during Group Scan, but I'm not sure I'm reading it right.

From what I've read, the radio will only scan 1 group of 32 channels under FM Scan or Scan.

Thanks,

I'm not sure you're supposed to address a question to a specific person in the forums, you can always PM me.
Anyway, I'm not going to be much help with the Group Scan because I don't use it and I have no experience with it. I have all the radios I program set up for two channel scan with one marked as priority. All the rest of the channels have to be selected manually. I do it that way because both channels that are in the scan have separate 2-tone alerts with one channel having two different 2-tone sets. If I had scan set up for many more channels, there is a greater chance the radios will miss enough of a tone to not alert. Granted it could happen with the set up I have, but the chances are much lower because both of the channels are page only - simulcast from a trunked system - and one of them also has CTCSS, so they really don't spend much time on any channel unless receiving tones.
You should probably address this to just the Vertex forum in general. I'm sure someone has the answer to your question, sorry that I don't.

Scott

After some searching through the CE-115 software I did come across a way to have a priority channel during group scan. Under scan settings, you must go all the way to the bottom of the list. You will find the group scan list. You can set the priority channel there.

My radio is now set just about where I want it to be.

Thanks to all...
