I think this has been asked before (maybe even by myself) but I can't remember the answer.

I've got an ASTRO Saber II conventional.
I'd like to be able to scan 28 channels at the same time. Is this how to do it???

Place channels 1-14 in Zone 1, Scanlist 1.
Place channel 15 in Zone 1, Scanlist 2.
Place channels 16-28 in Scanlist 2.

Use Selected Channel as Priority Scan type for Zone 1.

Select Zone 1, Channel 15 and start SCAN.

If any channels in Scanlist 2 go active, the radio switches to them. Correct?

Any help would be much appreciated.

In this case you will be scanning all the channels in scan list 2 and none in scan list 1. There is no way to scan more than 16 channels. 15 from the scan list plus the selected channel if it not part of the scan list. I hope this helps.
