Hmmm... 81 views with NO responses so far. I guess this radio is still too new... not enough other user experience on here yet. I'll take my question to BTech directly and report back here with an update if/when they respond.

Hi, I'm a GMRS newbie so, of course I bought one of the most capable/complicated radios possible (LOL): the new Btech GMRS-Pro. I'm slowly figuring out how to program/operate this thing by reading the manual over and over - and by watching every YouTube video I can find on it - and by reading posts/reviews on here and elsewhere. The one thing that continues to baffle me is how to use the scan function. For example, I have looked up all of the fire/rescue/EMS/police/etc frequencies used in my area on RadiaReference.com and programmed them into a new channel group (setting the "Allow Scan" to true for each). What I'd like to be able to do now is have the radio scan just those channels/frequencies, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do that. When I switch the radio to that channel group and hit "Scan" at the bottom... it just stays on whatever frequency was selected before I hit "Scan"... and doesn't move - or at least gives no indication that it's scanning. Similarly, I'd like it to scan the standard GMRS and repeater channels defined in the default channel group 1 when I switch back to that channel group. Same story there. I have gone to the "Scan" screen - discussed on page 32 of the manual - and set the start and end frequencies and got it to scan that way, but it just goes through the entire frequency range defined stepping by the frequency interval specified (default is 0.5KHz) - for the purpose of finding active channels - I suppose to aid you in creating a channel group. Don't want that... just want it to scan the specific frequencies/channels I've already defined in my channel groups. Is that possible? If so, how? Thanks!
