Ah, ok there seems to be some misunderstanding here: It doesn't scan.
But when we talk about channels we are actually talking about the
center frequency of a signal that ranges from 12.5 Mhz below that
center frequency to 12.5 MHz above that center frequency. As each
channel only has a width of 5 MHz, that means the wireless signal
of each channel covers 5 channels, the selected one plus the two
adjacent upper plus the two adjacent lower channels. So if you set
your channel to 9, then you will see stuff from channels 7-11.
Hth.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
