Make sure that the “Ham” service type is enabled. If it is not, you would not hear those channels at all. If using a PL. tone, or DCS code, make sure those are correct, or set to “Search”.

Did this happen within the last 2 weeks since this last Firmware update?

I've noticed some degredation of frequencies within the 140-144mhz range. Used to get my regular system but now the frequencies I need to get don't come through like they did before.

Hook up my 436HP and pulls in what I need. Hook up the SDS200 with the exact same programming and nothing.

I did do the latest update

I wonder if the update can be backed out ?

I enabled Ham all alone and still quiet.I know there was activity because of an HT.

When did it drop ham in relation to the update? Before or after?

I enabled Ham all alone and still quiet.

Did you import them from the db or manually create the fav list?

I know there was activity because of an HT.

What does that mean? You hear ham on the ht, or your keying up on an ht and not hearing on scanner?

I believe after update and loaded from database.I hear activity on the Handheld that the scanner is not picking up.

Are you hearing other Vhf conventional channels without problems? And can you hear the NOAA weather radio stations?

Most of the amateur repeaters use 5 KHz deviation (FM). Also, the tone indicated may be for access only on the input side. The outputs often are carrier squelch (No PL tone).
