[chirp_users] Quansheng UV-K6 scan issue
Hello,
I recently picked up a Quansheng UV-K6 Dual-band HT, and had an issue with scanning memory channels - I just wanted to share my findings here, I've opened a request for Chirp_next to change this.
The issue is that manually programmed channels have a field "scanlists" that is set to "1+2", but new channels added thru chirp_next have this field blank, meaning the channel is not included in channel scanning by default.
To access the "scanlists" setting, you have to enable "extra" settings under the View menu item in chirp_next.
(Inside the radio, the scanlists setting is actually a couple different fields that combine to populate the chirp_next specific "scanlists" setting - there is no "scanlists" setting in the UV-K6 radio.)
I had this issue running chirp_next 20231021.

Maybe CHIRP should default to "1+2", as well. I would suggest opening a ticket to request it.
To access the "scanlists" setting, you have to enable "extra" settings under the View menu item in chirp_next.
You don't have to enable the "estra" settings. You can right-click the memory number and choose "Properties" from the list that appears. After the "Memory Properties" editor opens, choose the "Extra" tab to find the "Scanlists" setting and change it to suit your needs.
The Memory Properties editor allows you to program commons settings of multiple memories all at once. Just highlight 2 or more memory rows before activating the Memory Properties editor. Edit the properties of the desired settings. Once you click the [ OK ] button all of the highlighted memories will have been updated accordingly.

Jim, I opened "bug" #10911 earlier this morning, before I posted here.
Thanks for the info on the memory properties screen, I'll look into it tonight.
