Trying to program a partial frequencies range to scan (not channel scan!). Apart of making the receiver range narrow no other idea. Any suggestions welcome. Mazby
Have you read the FAQs and checked www.miklor.com? Most questions answered there.

Each VFO will only scan between the limits that are set for the currently selected BAND. So to limit the VFO scanning range you would use CHIRP to adjust the limits of the appropriate BAND. The band limits are only adjustable in 1 MHz increments and the upper band limit always includes its whole 1 MHz (actually .9975 MHz) range of frequencies.
So to scan from 146.000 to 148.000 MHz you would use CHIRP to set the VHF lower band limit to 146 and the VHF upper band limit to 147 (not 148). This will allow either VFO with menu 33 (BAND) set to VHF to scan from 146.0000 MHz through 147.9975 MHz.
So to scan from 462.000 to 463.000 MHz (the smallest range possible) you would use CHIRP to set the UHF lower band limit to 462 and the UHF upper band limit to 462 (not 463). This will allow either VFO with menu 33 (BAND) set to UHF to scan from 462.0000 MHz through 462.9975 MHz.

Excellent !! This is the most universally-relevant posting I recall seeing. Helping a ham in need is commendable, but this potentially helps us all. My hat is tipped !!
