I have two coordinators working on different channels 11 and 12. When I do an active scan with an end device with all channels set I only get the first coordinator (that one working on channel 11). If I turn off the coordinator on channel 11 then I get the coordinator on channel 12 as result of the active scan. I always only get the description of 1 coordinator and it is always the one with the lowest channel number. Where is the problem?

The active scan only lists unique entries in the scan response.  So if the 2 coordinators have the have  ...
