TYT MD380 radio LED blink lights

There is a single LED indicator on the top front of the radio that is used to indicate the radio’s status as follows:

• Green: Received signal present
• Orange: Radio is scanning
• Red: Radio transmitting

The LED blinks orange while scanning. An orange LED does not indicate that there is activity on a channel. Solid green LED means activity on a channel.

This is not an amateur radio. Commercial radios scan more slowly than amateur radios.

It seems it see rf on the channel scanning light turns orange but does not switch to actvate channel.

If I quickly go through channels I usually find the active channel.

Now if I don't have the particular group code in radio and there is rf activity on channel orange light is lit but I'm not decoding any info. Scanning is basically seems useless at this point.

Tytera MD-380 v. CS-700

Why in the world would you recommend the CS700 over the MD380? The MD380 already offers more features than the CS700 and it's only been out for two months. CSI promised front panel programming for the CS700 in January 2014. Still not here. The MD380 does it out of the box. Nuisance delete just started working on the CS700, only 18 months after the feature was supposed to be fixed. I works now on the MD380. The MD380 has a battery eliminator available right now. CSI hasn't even contemplated offering a battery eliminator for the CS700. The MD380 uses a standard female SMA connector on the radio, so that hams can use any number of the thousands of SMA antennas available. The CS700 uses a male SMA on the radio, which is also a standard, just not for amateur radios.
