I had some notes from a couple of years ago when I was plagued with this
scanning issue. My notes were a little incomplete. So, I embarked on a
few tests to narrow down the proper KX3 settings. Don had the right advice
for you - the secret sauce is the Data A mode.
The Mic Btn menu item can be set to anything. An additional observation is
that the mic bias and mic btn menu items will not be available to change
their values when in Data A. Mind you though, I also had the Mic Btn set
to just PTT (as Bill suggested) from a couple of years ago. But, today's
tests showed me scanning would happen regardless of the Mic Btn value.
FYI...I have the latest firmware on the KX3 (non-beta).
I did a few tests to prove my theory. Data A being set for any external
sound card hookup yielded no scanning. If the 'D' data modes were
selected, unplugging and plugging the mic cable (green), would result in a
short scan and then stop. I tried various values of mic bias and mic btn
and all had the same scanning effect when not in Data A mode.

Brian
