This isn't a glitch, but a definite complaint about SCAN.....

It would be a lot better if we didn't have to go to the trouble of
first storing a frequency pair in memory then recalling it every time
we want to scan a new range. I often find that I don't really want a
particular scan range to be permanently stored in memory. Why can't
SCAN simply use the current contents of the VFOs for its scan range,
however they happen to be set. 

Plus, there are all the extra button pushes you have to go through...

V->M
select a memory location
V->M
M->V
M->V
SCAN

That's six button pushes  required to do what a single push of SCAN
alone should be able to accomplish, i.e., just scan from the VFO-A
freq to the VFO-B freq.
