If you find that you can't edit the scan list via the front of the radio, then you'd need to read the radio in CPS (The software needed to program the radio, current is R12.x) and then edit it in the software.

You would only be able to change the scan list if the original programmer allowed you to do so. If they set a "Fixed" scan list, then there is nothing you can do, short of reprogramming the radio with "Operator Select" enabled.

Depends on how it is programmed, you may not have a user-selectable scan list.

...Should have a soft key labeled "PROG". Press that, then press "SCAN". From there, edit the scan list, if the menu items are available.

PROG and SCAN are menu items that are added in cps. If they are not there, then they'll have to be programmed through cps to be visable.

if there is no softkey prog, try long press of the scan button, most m equip works this way.
