Hi all,
I have recently bought an R2 but i am having problems doing a basic search.=
On just about all of my other scanners (apart from my R5) you can just ent=
er the frequency that you want to start searching from and then press searc=
h and it will happily search every frequency until i decide to press the se=
arch button to stop the search process. Is it possible to do this with the =
R2 without having to set scan edges. What i am basically asking is can i en=
ter a starting frequency in VFO mode (say for example 160.000) and then set=
it searching until i decide to manually stop it or do i always have to giv=
e it an upper frequency to search to (say for example 172.000). I read some=
where in the files section that you just enter your frequency in VFO mode t=
hen whilst holding the FUNC button, press the up/down arrows and then repea=
t this again to stop the search but on my R2, all this does is cause it to =
beep twice (2 different tones).
Is there something obvious that i am missing or is my scanner knackered - i=
t was bought second hand off Ebay but the listing never mentioned any fault=
s.
Thanks in advance for any help/answers offered, by the way, i am in Ketteri=
ng, Northants if anyone is handy at tutorials in my area.
Best Regards,
Paul.
