Icom question

You can set a scan tag (OPEN, GROUP, PRIORITY) on any channel.
For example, say you are scanning all the UHF CB channels from 1 to 40 in the OPEN scan mode. If you want to add a RX only channel to your scan, you first need to select the RX BANK by pressing (F) and selecting RX BANK using the up and down keys and pressing (F) again.
Once you have the RX only channel bank selected, select the channel that you want to add to your scan list, in your case, channel 41.
Press and hold (SCN) until the Scan Type Selection mode appears, use the up and down keys to select OPEN, then a quick press of (SCN) should bring up SCAN ON briefly and a small "S' should appear in the top right corner of the screen. Press and hold (SCN) to get out of the Scan Type Selection mode. You will then have the RX only channel on the screen with a small "S" in the top right corner of the screen. A quick press of (SCN) to start scanning will now scan all the channels tagged with the "S". It doesn't matter which bank the channels are in, the radio will scan them all. In your radio, you would repeat the above for all the RX channels you want to add to the scan.
In each scan type.. OPEN, GROUP, PRIORITY and REPEATER, all channels can be induvidually tagged on or off, except in REPEATER scan, where you can only tag the repeater channels, 1 to 8.
The Icom radio can be a complicated beast with different presses of function buttons needed to do simple things, it's showing it's heritage as a commercial radio... and the manual isn't very easy to understand if you don't a background in two-way radio!
Hope this helps...
