Are you having issues receiving the Kanas City, KS SITE or Talkgroups? Taking a quick glance at your favorites from your above post, I don't see anything that stands out as a mis-program. The only concern I have is in your talkgroups, you added new talkgroup ID's and have their service types set to "Custom 1". Other than that, I don't see anything off hand. I will do a little more in depth research on it in a few hours and let you know if I find anything.

I am not receiving anything from KCk including TGS which is strange since that is the County I am in

If you don't enter a service type when programming talkgroups, Sentinel defaults to Custom 1. When Sentinel is first installed, the Custom 1 service type is enabled. I do all programming from scratch and don't bother with service types. All of my talkgroups and conventional frequencies have a service type of Custom 1. It is not a problem. I sort everything by departments and select what I want to scan by using quick keys.

@N0HIU - just to emphasize: please check to be sure that Custom 1 service type is enabled.

I have changed them to Utilies and yes it is enabled

The Only Tgs I hear are 219=Missouri West Ops. 210=Kansas City Ops 216=Missouri Metro Ops Nothing from KCK

Are you having trouble hearing ANY TGs on the KCK site, or are you just able to pick up TGS 219, 210 and 216 on the KCK site? I loaded your file into my SDS 200 using Sentinal and I don't see any programming issues. Using the Analyze -> System Status feature, I am getting a relatively good signal from the KCK site. I don't usually hear any traffic from my own programmed Evergy favorite (using the Stilwell, KS site) unless there's a major outage usually from storms, but I'm also in central Johnson county with an indoor antenna so that likely plays a factor in my own reception.

Like I said, the programming looks good. You said you can pick up some TGs so that should rule out antenna connection or radio issue. Sorry, but at this point I'm drawing a blank on this one. Maybe someone smarter than me can crack this one.
