KG-935G Scanning one area negates other area's receive capability?

[73blazer]

So, am I crazy here or something. When set one of the "areas" on the KG-935G, lets say Area A the upper to scan mode, and Area B is set to a single channel, lets say GMRS22, the Area B will not ever pick up a transmission from another radio on  channel 22. Only Area A once the scan gets around to GMRS22 will pick it up.

If both Areas are set to a single channel they will both receive what they are supposed to, but if you put an area into scan mode the other area won't receive anything. Is that supposed to be that way?

As far as I know, the KG-935G is a /single receiver/ (regardless of that "two radios in one!" comment on page 25) that rapidly switches between A & B selections. It is not a true dual-receiver that has separate receive modules for each A&B -- you can't hear traffic in both A&B at the same time. In effect, the unit is "scanning" between A & B.

Since real scanning requires rapidly switching the scan side from channel to channel, it is quite reasonable that the unit spends all its cycles on just the scan side and doesn't have time to spend on the non-scan side. Compare the description of priority channel scan (page 33 in manual) which just puts the priority between each linear channel during a scan.

Set CH22 as a "priority channel."
