I only have a technician license at the moment but wanted to try some longer range stuff so I got an HF radio. I’m extremely new to the hobby so I have little idea what I’m doing lol.

Scanning isn’t particularly useful on HF. You will have to manually tune in whatever signal it stops on and most of the time it will just find noise. A band scope is much more useful.
