yes, it will do both of what you ask about. Hold the VFO button in for 1 
second, to the second beep and it will scan from where you are to the top of 
everything, if you use the * key while in VFO, and hold that to the second 
beep, that will scan just that band, from where ever you are on the band up, 
or down how ever you want. It will also do the 2 separate tones, I think 
most radios will these days. I haven't seen any that wouldn't in a long 
time.
