So far, no response to this.  Can anyone say definitively if a Spectra with
a v1.x MLM will scan or not?  

The guy is coming tomorrow for some programming.

 

Thanks,

For everyone on the list - with some offline assistance from Dave WA4ECM, I
was able to get this working the way I wanted it to.  

 

There was more to it than just activating the scan list from the front panel
- I still had not properly activated the scan options in the RSS.

 

Anyway, it is working as I desired.  Thanks to everyone for your assistance!

 

Now, I have another ham friend who has a Spectra with a v1.x MLM and would
like his radio to be able to scan as well.  His rig has 1 trunked profile
and 10 conventional modes.  Anyone know the Reader's Digest version of how
to activate this for him?

Change channels using your mode up/down (or the channel knob if you have 
an A4/B4/C4/D4/E4/W4/O4 control head) and hit SEL once, twice, or three 
times to select non-priority scan, priority 1 scan, or priority 2 scan.

Yes, the Spectra will only scan 16-modes. The Two radios that have the 
larger capacity for scanning (and fast) are the MCX1000 and the Syntor 
X9000.

Thanks Tim! Yes, it helps immensely!!

Maybe one problem I had this morning is I may not have the SEL button
designated (or maybe in the wrong position?) since pressing that did
nothing...  

Back to the RSS!

Hey Mark,

In the 'old' spectra, after you hold in the scan button &
get the 'sel mode' message,  use the mode buttons to go through
the modes.  When you get one you want, push the 'SEL'
button.  Multiple presses will take it through the priorities.
To delete, use the 'DEL' key.

While the 'sel' message is displayed, you can also hit
the 'SEL' button to change the priority of the mode that
is selected.

Oh, Pushing the 'HOME' button will take you out of
the scan program mode.

hope this helps.

Tim

That means that you have entered the scan programming mode...in other words 
your radio is programmed for Operator Selectable Scan.
Pressing RCL at this point will show you what is in the scan list.
Preeing HOME will exit the list.
Use the SEL button to add a mode to the list (16 entries IIRC)
Use the DEL button to delete a mode from the list.

  Yep – I designated which Modes are displayed in each Zone…

   

  FWIW – this morning on the way to work (I know – I should do this while 
PARKED) I tried to activate SCAN again.  If I hold the SCAN button down for 2 
seconds, the SCAN indicator flashes and I get “SEL MODE”, so apparently the 
scan list is empty. ???  

   

  However, it appears the scan list is NOT Zone-dependent, since the first Mode 
that showed up when I tried to toggle through was one from a different Zone 
than the one I had selected to operate from.  I wonder if I can create scan 
lists by Zone…

   

  Now, if I can just find the Spectra operator’s manual I have squirreled-away…

  I'll have to check later tonight when I get home but it is not an option but 
a function key on the bottom of the screen when you are in the  Zones menu. 
Like I mentioned when I get home tonight I'll fire up the computer and give you 
the proper function keys to get to the scan menu. 

   

  When you entered the modes did it ask for the Zone?

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Spectra Scan

2010-01-31 Thread N9WYS
Kris - if the radio doesn't support conventional SCAN with a v6.x MLM, I
don't know what one does.  This is NOT an older radio.  

 

Dave - well, I can see the following in the Zone Scan Options:

 

Talkback Scan. Enabled

Scan Button Control... Active

Coded Squelch Scan... Enabled

SCAN TYPETalkgroup

Non-Priority List Op Select

 

This is set for each Zone. So why doesn't it work when I turn SCAN on?

(I tried to find this reference in the RSS manual, but that is an exercise
in futility.)

 

Maybe I need to select the Non-Priority scan list somehow - possibly from
the front panel??

I don't have the radio or manual with me at this time but I think you need
to program scan by going to  F2 then select zones then select scan. I have
my Spectra set up for Zones so I can have a different scan for the Zone I
select.

 

Hope this helps.

If you use the example MOFLAGS from Batlabs, the radio will be open to 
almost any feature the MLM supports. So if you use those MOFLAGS and it 
doesn't work, you probably need to change the MLM to one that supports 
conventional scan.
