OffRoaderX Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 "Skip" means that if you enabled scanning on your radio those channels will be "skipped" during the scan. As to why it's there or who put it there: Nobody can answer that, and it does not matter WSBB368 and WRHS218 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdunajewski Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 They are skipped during scan by default since there's no output tone. Any activity on the channel will cause the scan to stop and what you're hearing may or may not be that repeater anyway. This way, if you get the tone information, you already have the channel programmed, you can set up the tones and add to the scan list, and you're off to the races.
