Astro25 question

Post by sscfpdff »

When tying two bricks (UHF & VHF) to a single head, can a single scan list be input to perform cross brick scanning?

Dual radio with an XTL? No. APX dual band radio? Yes.

Thank you - I'm afraid it's the former.

You might want to specify cross-band scanning in a single APX radio, and not cross-deck scanning in a dual-radio mobile APX setup. The former is of course doable, the latter is not.

In any of the dual radio/one head kits Motorola put out the two radio decks function independently but share a control head. Harris' setup with the Orions and M7100s are the same way. The only kit that allowed cross-deck scanning that I know of is the Kenwood x90 setup. It even supported cross-deck repeating (on two predefined channels, but still.)
