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.
