Comment (by anonymous):
I can add some additional information. Using Chirp daily-06092001 running on Win7 Pro with Win7 compatible KeySpan 4-port serial adapter USA-49WG.
When downloading (radio to Chirp) a full VHF/UHF configuration, after the I observe scanning on the MAIN side to start when the cloning is completed. Scanning is of the defined memories, wrapping at the end of the memory list to scan continously.
After doing a hard reset of the radio (holding VFO, MR, & SQL buttons when powering on), I observe that the scanning starts on the MAIN side. As there are no defined memories, scanning is of the frequencies defined by the scan edges. I did not wait to see if it would wrap and continue scanning once reaching the scan edge--but I suspect it would.
After doing a hard reset, and defining one memory location M00, I observe that the scanning of the several 'memory locations' (M1A, M1B, M00) occurs once and then stops on location M00. Of course, I'm not sure how I would tell if it was continuously scanning the single memory channel, or not scanning--there does not appear to be any visual indication of scanning operation other than the frequency changing in the display.
Looking more closely at the other circumstances, it appears that when the scanning starts, it does cycle once thru the radio's fixed memory registers (M1A, M1B, etc.) before continuously scanning the user defined memory locations or scanning between the scan edges.
I, too, am baffled by the discrepancy between the behavior of the IC-W32A you have and the one I have. Perhaps it is a radio-specific thing: for the record, I have serial number 0504102 here, and you have (an apparently much earlier) serial number 05516.
One thing we have not yet tried is that you send me a copy of the radio image that does not start scanning, and I try it on my radio here to see what happens.
