Is the proper service type enabled for that channel?

After updating the database did you click on "file" in the upper left corner, then in the drop down menu click on "save as" and then click on your profile to save, then load to the scanner?

Wait until after Noon on Monday's. The new week's Full Database version is released then.

Of note: updating the database does NOT update any of your favorite lists. That has to me done manually or by appending the new info to favorite list

Yes, I have all service types that it could be

No, I’ve never done that before and it’s worked before, I’ll try that. Thanks

Can you supply a link to the DB page here as well as what the system or channel or talkgroup name or number is for this new channel?

Just updating the database does not require a "save as" from Sentinel's menu bar. The database update is saved to Sentinel as soon as it downloads from Uniden. Then just use "write to scanner" to transfer the updated database to your scanner.

If you have changed some other settings for your scanner in Sentinel during the same session you are updating the database, then you would want to "save" those changes before writing to the scanner.

As mciup pointed out you will have to wait until Monday's update. Or add it manually.
