check ur bandplan settings, some older versions of arc have been known to mess with them

also are u getting a "signal"
do you see the control channel at the bottom like 142.168 (means ur getting the signal)

 

[torontokris]

are u in ID scan or SEARCH?

try id search

 

[balou]

ok it works with id search but it scans real slow is there a way to make it go faster

i put zone 3 in but i need to keep my local contral channel only..if not it misses everything because thees too much...
i was thinking theres not that much in zone 3 for it to be slow..

is there a setting for the scan speed

Have you tried FreeScan?

It is updated frequently; developed by a guy in Ontario (so he uses it with Fleetnet); it supports direct imports from RR's database;

Best of all, it is free, and would be a cheap way to discover if there is a software tool that may be better suited to your use.
