Running the newest build - search function not stopping on open channels

[GreeneEye]

Hey guys! Two things here.

I'm running the latest build but have noticed a bit of an issue. I'm unsure if its the number of channels in the scanner, or something else. However, when scanning my second list (approximately 16 items in it), it will not stop on open channels despite a strong signal. If I stop the search, it immediately lights up on that channel clear as a whistle. I have a second radio to confirm the signal is coming in strong. I turned duel standby on and off, am fix on and off, and went single channel on the screen. Lowered the squelch to 1, still wont receive while in scan mode. These frequencies are in the 154-156 FM range. -edit- Just tested the all scan, and that part is working perfectly, I think the issues are in the channel lists saved. Going to keep tinkering.

• So I've reset the saved lists, and list 2 seems to be the only currently having issues.
• alright moved my 154-156 frequencies into a different list, same issue.
• Noticed some of the frequencies are on narrowband, going to test to see if moving everything to wideband fixes it
• No luck on changing the band, removing the CTCSS for next test - BOOM! You cannot use CTCSS with the scan function! That was the problem!

Second thing, I've noticed while scanning (or if receiving), it will at seemingly random, even if not touched, lock the monitor on. The additional odd thing here is that it will require you to turn monitoring on, then off again before it will stop.

• Okay so I was receiving a RX when I was in the menu this time, I clicked menu while getting the RX in the menu and the monitoring came on by itself again. Ill keep watching to see if I can figure out what exactly is causing it to turn on if anything else.
• This time I sat in the menu till I got an RX, then hit scroll up, and that locked on the monitor as well. Seems to be... as I was just saying that it picked up an RX and locked on monitor without me touching it. Dang.
• Just hit a random button while on RX, opened monitor as well.

Hope you guys are having a great day!

I experience the same as GreeneEye describes. What I also experience is that when in searchmode (so not channelscan) the 890 NEVER stops on a busy frequency. Neither in bandwith narrow, nor in wide, in all AGC's, in all bands, in ALL modes, with all fw's, with all signalsstrengths, even if a signal is -60dB. Tested this with signal generator. All to be very sure of the issue.

And just another little funny thing in main fw: with DCS on there is a long SQ tail, BUT when in menu while RX, all of the SQtail is gone. On the other HT Tail elimination was ON.
