Radioddity DB40-G scanning pause

[WSHG909]

I've searched for a solution and tried several things, but cannot figure out how to to this:

Radio is a DB40-G

When scanning through channels and I hear someone talking, I want to stop the scan and stay on that channel even if there is a break in the transmission. But the radio resumes scanning after a few seconds when there is a break.

I've tried to hit the scan button, but it defaults back to the last channel I was on before starting to scan. For instance, if I was on Channel 1 when I started scanning, and try to stop scanning to listen to channel 5, when I hit SCAN, it goes back to Channel 1.

I've tried the PTT button and it pauses, but then resumes scanning.

I've tried the CAN button and nothing happens

And lastly, the Mode button - I don't think that did anything.

Any advice on how to do this?

Have you looked over the manual?    Gone into the scan settings?

Yes. And searched online for a solution.

It appears there are three different options for scan mode. Carrier, Time, and Search. Search exits out of scan when a signal is detected. 
It’s described in the extended manual.
