F521 scan setup help

Post by jim202 »

Trying to get the scan to work in a VHF F521. It seems I am missing something simple to make it work. The manual is not very user friendly in the steps you need to take to make the radio scan.

I think so. Will have to go back and check it though.

I have the similar problem with my F521. I have all the scan lists set correctly, however no matter what bank I am in, when I press my programmed "Scan A Start/Stop" button, it will automatically start scanning bank 1. I can be in bank 8 and I hit P1, and it automatically starts scanning bank 1/scan list 1. I can not get it to scan any other scan lists.

Any ideas?

Push and hold your scan button. Once it beeps then select up and down to get to the right scan list. Then hold scan till it beeps again and you are in that scan list
