Hey all, new to GMRS and got my first radio, the BTech GMRS Pro. Still trying to work through all the features, but I had a question specifically on scanning. If I don’t do anything except program a couple local repeaters in, leaving all the other factory programming alone, what is actually being scanned? I know there are several banks I can program, for example I think I can program any VHF channels into another bank, just not sure if it scans everything by default? Do I need to tell it what to scan? If I just press scan is it scanning all the GMRS channels and repeater channels?
Also, hole scanning I’ve noticed it will stop randomly like it’s picking up a transmission, but always on the last channel I was using. In this case below, I has been using GMRS 1, then I started scanning and it randomly stops on GMRS 1, like the squelch needs to be adjusted, but I messed with that and it still does the same thing. Any thoughts on this? Thanks all!
