VFO scanning setup for Btech GMRS V-2 help!

[twobisbees]

I just purchased two Btech GMRS V-2 radios. I am trying to scan frequencies in VFO mode. When I switch to VFO mode and hit scan, the screen shows "range". I entered a frequency per the instructions in the manual, and I now see 145.100 on the top half and 435.100 on the bottom. So is it now scanning those frequencies and everything in between? It doesn't seem to be doing anything.

Thanks !

I have the same radio.  I just reviewed the manual and in VFO mode you have to use the up and down arrows to manually scan frequencies.  In MR mode the radio will scan whatever is in memory and only those channels that you tell the radio to have on your scan list.  If you use CHIRP you can select which channels are skipped with the drop down field by adding S for skip.

This is a limitation to the radio.  As good as the radio is it is not one of the higher end options.
