Hi. I tried to simulate your problem and I mine seems to work OK. The only thing is I dont have P2 operater select for revert channel. What do you have your revert channel set to? I can set Priority 2 to operator selectable but revert only has P2>selected CH, P2>Last Used CH, P2>Last Called. The other options for Revert are Priorty 1, Selected CH.

The revert channel is set to P2 Selected channel.

Hi. I tried all possible combinations on 2 radios and they both work OK.
It might be something with the FAA chip or a hardware jumper setting. I will try to find out more.

I wonder if this could be something in the prog'ing s/w. Have you the latest version? That may be worth looking into. Also, have you tried changing the scan off-hook revert to something else and it still goes to the last-Rx channel?

Hi ALex. Just a point of clarification. Do you mean firmware as well as RSS? There has been some discussion about firmware that I was involved in and I want to make sure I'm not violating any rules. Peter.

Apparently the firmware for the control heads isn't manufactured by kenwood or sold by them - I think this is the KRKDB4 stuff.

The point is - if you can pay money to kenwood or any other manufactur for a software/firmware product - you need to pay them, and not ask for it here.
