First, thank you for your response. I "played" with the radio, got it working, but have no idea why or how.
Let me say a few things and perhaps you could put me on the right track. I haven't set any quick
keys so I don't think there was a quick key issue. I haven't got to that level yet. Also, I only have
one favorites list.
With that in mind, I reconnected to Sentinel as I wanted to add two Philadelphia Police Frequencies
to my favorites and update the alert lights. All of that worked and I downloaded the updated list.
Next, I went back into the menu, turned off the full data base and turned on my updated list.
So, here's where I'm thoroughly confused. At first nothing was happening, and specifically
I saw no bars indicating signal strength. Then for some reason, I put the system hold on
for Philadelphia Project 25, and voila, the radio began working.
Why would this be the case? What if I build a list with multiple systems ?
One other mystery: When I took it out of the box, I set it up for zip code just to see what
would happen. I entered my zip and it selected Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and
New Jersey from the database and began scanning, it found the Philadelphia Project 25
system, and the corresponding departments and channels. It worked fine. However, I'm
unable to replicate this as I can't monitor the Philadelphia system. I hear sububan Phila. and
South Jersey transmissions, but no Philadelphia Project 25 (as I did out of the box on Tuesday).
Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
Mike
PS: After posting this, I undid the system hold and the radio continues to work. So, why did I have these issues
in the first place? One more observation. Yesterday, as today, I simply turned the radio on and it worked perfectly.
I did the exact same thing this morning and had the aforementioned issues
