It will scan whatever is in the list you create. You can only scan one list at a time. The list can contain any frequency in its operating range of 136-174.

To answer your question if it can do something like a ham vfo scan or all frequencies between 136-174... No.

The AS, like all /\/\'s, is not a ham radio therefore it doesn't do "VFO scan". It will only scan the user-created scan list(s) of actual channels.

1 Scan list = 16 channels

You can either have a "radio-wide" scan list by creating one scan list, and assigning that list to all zones...or you can have a "Zone-slaved" scan list for each radio by creating a separate scan list for each zone.

As mentioned before, only one 1 scan list can be scanned at one time. If you are using the AS in a busy area, use a zone-slaved scan setup. If you only need to scan a few channels spread out thru the radio, use a radio-wide scan list.
