BF-F8HP CTCSS tone scanning removed?!

I ordered a BF-F8HP in early September. So far what I would expect from a $70 radio, however I was recently disappointed to learn CTCSS tone scanning was removed from the firmware despite BaoFeng advertising it in both product manual and web site specs. I noticed this functionality did not work when following manual instructions and contacted BaoFeng. They indicated the feature was removed from software on all their radios.



Does anyone have any background here? Was there a bug? Will it be added back into firmware?



Thanks,

Nick
