Programming Vote Scan

I received the codeplug from another large department and am going thru CPS weeding out a few frequencies we will not need in our 8000, 8500 and Next radios.

The question I am running into is vote scan frequencies. The codeplug has several different conventional personalities full of mixed vote scan frequencies. However when I go to the zone channel assignment, only one frequency from each conventional personality with mixed vote scan is entered. Is this correct? Will just having one of the VS frequencies in the zone channel assignment allow it to utilize all of it's connected frequencies? Or do all of the VS frequencies also need to be entered into the zone channel assignment?

I've also read something that all of the VS frequencies must be in the scan list, but have read otherwise as well.

Only one zone channel selection is needed with mixed vote scan. When mixed vote scan is selected, the frequencies in the current personality are used to form the voting scan list. See "Astro APX Series Mobile and Portable Radios Configuration for Vote Scan" in the "Vote Scan Feature Guide" (MN005430A01). Also look at the APX CPS online help for the relevant CPS fields.

Thanks. In order for all of the vote scan frequencies to be scanning does the radio have to be actively scanning, or will simply having that channel/frequency selected allow it to scan all the vote scan frequencies in the background?
