[Kenwood] TS-850SAT won't stop scanning

[Walter Miller, AJ6T]

Clif,

Thanks very much for the response.  I don't have a mike connected to the 
TS-850 at all, so that is not the source of the spurious scanning 
command.  I suspect that somewhere inside the rig a scan control bit has 
been set, and that it is stuck in that position.  Has anybody else seen 
this kind of out-of-control scanning?   73, Walt, AJ6T
