RE: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Spectra Scan
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… ;-) Mark – N9WYS From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com On Behalf Of dmurman… 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? David
RE: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Spectra Scan
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. hope this helps. Tim
RE: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Spectra Scan
Oh, Pushing the 'HOME' button will take you out of the scan program mode. Tim
Re: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Spectra Scan
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. - Original Message - From: Mark To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, February 01, 2010 11:36 AM Subject: RE: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Spectra Scan 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.

The Two radios that have the larger capacity for scanning (and fast) are the MCX1000 and the Syntor X9000. -- Kris Kirby, KE4AHR Disinformation Analyst
