Midland 275 issues or user error?

[Foxhound67]

Does anyone here use the mxt275? Mine recently started doing a channel-scan thing that I can't stop (it's not the actual channel scan function). I attached a video to show what's happening. You'll see me toggle the scan, attempt to change channels up and down, the hit the xmit when it finally stops and immediately resume. I'm thinking it's a problem with the radio and I likely will have to send it to midland.

Sorry to hear that. I haven't had a problem with mine.

Might be a priority with or other scan/watch feature... whatever you did for the video didn't quite work. If its longer than 30sec or so, you'll probably have to upload it to YT and send a link.

Try holding the scan button down for a few secs.

No change. I also did a factory reset just to see if that would do anything

looks to me like a sticky "channel up" key - you might be able to apply some light percussive maintenance or take it apart and find out if there is come junk under the button membrane. If it's new - I would just send it back to get a working one and not trouble yourself with it.

I contacted midland, they suggested a few of the same things I already did, as much as I love tinkering I don't want to open it up and find out I voided the warranty, it's 3 months old. Will probably get a replacement.
