A/S: Always scan selected channel?

Post by Splat »

Ok, where is it? I know I've seen it in the past, but I could be confusing it with another package. Using latest A/S CPS (legally contracted w/M, thank you) and looked everywhere. I even whipped out the last RSS to see if it was in there. No go. Thanks.

FWIW, I did have it confused with the Ericsson MRK. :)

IIRC the only way you would miss traffic on the selected channel would be if:
1. A priority channel was active or
2. You are using "talkgroup scan" instead of "priority monitor" or "conventional scan", which might be listening to a control channel instead of the selected channel.

To make absolutely sure I never miss a message, I always use priority monitor and have selected channel be priority 1 in all scanlists, and priority 2 for operator select.
