No, scanning is deliberately disabled on 6 meters. There is an issue
with FCC approval. As I understand it (someone will correct me if I'm
wrong), a manufacturer of equipment capable of scanning above 30 mHz
must prove that it can't scan the 800 or 900 mHz region used by analog
cellular phones (if there are any!). When Elecraft comes up for air they
will do this and then enable scanning on 6 meters.
