MXT500 won’t scan channels

[Guest Billy]

I recently installed my new MXT500 and put several channels in the scan list by holding the scan button for 2 seconds, however when you Tap scan. It only makes 4 quick beeps and nothing happens.  I can not get it to scan channels.  Any suggestions?   Thanks in advance

The one possible thing I see in the manual is that it comes configured to scan all the channels out of the box; are you sure you added the channels rather than. Removing them from the scan? The manual seems to indicate a period after the CH icon indicates a channel active in the scan list.

I had the same problem with mine, contacted Midland for advice, but was on the weekend.   Before they contacted my back, I got impatient, and just did a Restore.   Scan function began working, problem solved
