cdm 1250 wont recieve during scan

Post by tcash158 »

I have recently reprogrammed our 6 cdm 1250's and since then they wont recieve during scan on any channel except the priority ch. You can turn to the channel individually and it works fine, all of the PL tones are correct and were never changed during programming anyway. What could be the problem and how do I fix it. Thanks in advance.

See what the scan type is set to, I came across this problem a while back and someone had set it to priority only, should be something like "fixed plus priority", I forget exactly what it's called... it's the weekend :)

check if it's set for pl scan or to open only on pl

Okay, now that I have CPS in front of me.... look in scan list settings, PL scan type, see if set to "Priority Channel", normally should be "Priority and Non-Priority Channel". Read the help for more info.
Other than that... make sure personalities are all set for the proper scan list, and make sure the right channels are in the list.
If all else fails.. try putting "selected" in the scan list... I've seen that fix problems, not sure exactly why though.

Jack is correct, the proper selection should be 'priority and non priority' in the scan config menu.

If another setting is showing, that's the reason for the missed calls.

Priority only will bypass everything else.
