Am I doing something wrong here? I can not get my Autoscan to scan. Anyone shed any light on this?
Cheers...

I can't recall off the top of my head (and can't access the radio due to junk in the way at the mo), but does it need the squelch up a touch so it scans for a "busy" channel that breaks it?

Give me a minute and I'll upload a pic of the instructions about the ways of scanning.

Try this mate. If still no luck then see if you can borrow another Magpie mic to try as I know they can cause issues now and again.

Yeah, I know what you mean. That function used to be handy in the early 80's to find that rare, clear channel. Nowadays it's more likely to be used to find that rare BUSY channel!
