John:
A very logical question. No only do I have the NWS 6 or 7 broadcast channels, I also have the two Skywarn channels for my home area, as well as some Fire and EMS dispatch channels in my home area. This 'odd' group allows me to move around the state (in Florida) and not have to specifically program or dial to the specific channel.
It's something I want to try now that I know what the TO/CO/SE designations mean.
Thanks for your help on this.
Larry

I'm curious why you want to scan the NWS frequencies. Generally, there is only one that covers your geographical area and the others are out of range. Also, because they never stop transmitting, your radio will stop on it every scan cycle.

I have one of my UV-5R that receives well, so want to us it to scan NWS channels here to support my Skywarn activities.
I went to Chirp, on the Advanced Settings Tab and found "Scan Resume". My choices are:
TO CO SE
what do each of these do if I add them to my set up for the radio.
Thanks.
