Can anyone tell us if it is possible to have a scan list that uses only channels with quick-call decoding. Have scan list set up this way but quick-call will not decode. Any thoughts? Any assistance is greatly apprecaited.

Thanks

How many scan list members, and how many QCII calls? As a rule of thumb, I discourage scanning for quick calls because of the chance of missing a call. And that just multiplies with more calls.

I have had good luck with decoding when it is on the Priority #1 channel, but this channel is "open" but has pl squelch.

I found the most it could reliably take is 4 in a zone by itself and not use any priority on scan as this takes time away from the other ch's for look back times. I do this for my ch and 3 other counties I give mutual aid to. Since all counties set off the quick call II tones twice back to back it very seldom misses a call.

I had a similar problem in UHF using 2 tone paging on phone systems. I had multiple QCs set up for various phone channels to ring out when called from the land line. Each channel would work perfect if I was on that channel but not when in scan, except the one that was Priority. I even put one in Priority 2 and it still would not work. I called Motorola and the guy told me that that was normal operation and only 1 channel would alert in scan and it had to be the priority channel. That was back during firmware R03.01.00 so don't know if a flash upgrade would work or not.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the replies...Only trying to Scan two QCII channels. Still no luck as of yet..Please keep any other info coming if available.
