Scan Question

Post by DEMCERT14 »

I was told by someone that it is possible to expand the scan capability of my XTS3000 beyond the 15 personalities... this person told me to set up my radio as follows...

In the "Conventional" setup area of the CPS my radio is setup as...
Personality 01 - Scan 1
Personality 02 - Scan 1
Personality 03 - Scan 1
Personality 04 - Scan 1
Personality 05 - Scan 1
Personality 06 - Scan 1
Personality 07 - Scan 1
Personality 08 - Scan 1
Personality 09 - Scan 1
Personality 10 - Scan 1
Personality 11 - Scan 1
Personality 12 - Scan 1
Personality 13 - Scan 1
Personality 14 - Scan 1
Personality 15 - Scan 2
Personality 16 - Scan 2
Personality 17 - Scan 2
Personality 18 - Scan 2
Personality 19 - Scan 2
Personality 20 - Scan 1

The scan list is setup as...
SCAN LIST 1 - Personality 1
SCAN LIST 1 - Personality 2
SCAN LIST 1 - Personality 3
SCAN LIST 1 - Personality 4
SCAN LIST 1 - Personality 5
SCAN LIST 1 - Personality 6
SCAN LIST 1 - Personality 7
SCAN LIST 1 - Personality 8
SCAN LIST 1 - Personality 9
SCAN LIST 1 - Personality 10
SCAN LIST 1 - Personality 11
SCAN LIST 1 - Personality 12
SCAN LIST 1 - Personality 13
SCAN LIST 1 - Personality 14
SCAN LIST 1 - Personality 15
SCAN LIST 2 - Personality 16
SCAN LIST 2 - Personality 17
SCAN LIST 2 - Personality 18
SCAN LIST 2 - Personality 19
SCAN LIST 2 - Personality 20

The person told me that by setting up the scan settings as shown above it would reference two scan lists together to "expand" the scan ability. I've set my radio up as shown, but still no luck. Is this actually possible, or just a dream?

You will not be able to add more than 15 (+ selected) to the scan list, even if modes in the scan list are affiliated to other scan lists.
