KG-1000G+ Dual Scan?

[MarkInTampa]

I'm trying to use the dual scan feature of the radio. Instructions say "The A and B areas can perform a scan at the same time. to do this, press SCAN to activate the scan on A area, press AREA to go to the B area, then press SCAN to activate the scan on B area. Both areas should scan simultaneously."

If I start a scan in area A as soon as I press the AREA button scanning stops on area A and doesn't resume. If I start a scan in area B and press the SCAN button it scans B but as soon as I hit the AREA button it stops scanning as well.

Am I missing something to scan both areas simultaneously? (BTW, the BAND button on the 1000G has been relabeled AREA on the 1000G+ version).

Thanks

I dont use mine for scanning, but I just tried that on my 1000G+ and it's doing the same thing.  Looks like a bug.

Thanks, just wanted to make sure I wasn't just me. Since the 1000G+ has dual speakers and a separate volume for each band, I thought it would be nice to scan a few active GMRS channels on one side and AM aircraft bands at a low volume on the other. Oh well

I know the owner at BTWR so I sent him an email and reported the issue.. If it turns out we ARE doing it wrong I'll post an update here.

Do you have the manual nearby?  What page is this one?

Page 46, under Basic Operation titled "Simultaneous Scanning on the A and B Areas".

Thank you.

Confirmed this is not by design, but as a work-around, try using the keypad/mic AREA button instead of the one on the radio.

I found the same problem when using the buttons on the radio, I figured it out if you use the mic key pad it will work as you want it to.
