FreeSCAN and SC230 wont upload MOT2 information

[BillPricePMP]

So I had a working SC230 NASCAR scanner. I connected my cable and was able to download from scanner. I created a new CONV System and was able to upload it. I just threw $15 to upgrade so I could download Virginia STARS frequencies and send them up to my scanner to listen to police and rescue. Unfortunately, I've noticed I'm unable to upload any MOT2 configured Systems. And to boot, it blew away all the NASCAR MOT2 Systems (my fault) for races that were programmed in. I saved all the information in FreeSCAN but I cannot figure out why its only sending CONV Systems to the scanner. Does anyone have any advice to "recover" my SC230?
Mem is 7% and I didn't have a lot of stuff on it. Default Systems and 1 RICHMOND System for RIR.

I didn't know the SC230 does trunking? In fact I'm pretty sure it doesn't...but I could be wrong.

And to add on to above, there is a difference between a Motorola type 2 system and a P25 phase 2 system. I’ve never used Freescan but would imagine it would differentiate these two kinds of systems. VA Stars is a P25 phase 2 system.

I cannot find any mention of programming trunked systems in the manual nor can I find any mention of digital. Is the SC230 analog only?

You need a new scanner, yours is not capable of any trunking.

The ONLY systems I see that would be capable to work are the ones with CONV. The others, right click and select, "Delete..."

I'm not the expert, but unless its the racetracks radio system, I dont believe nascar uses trunking.

In order to get VA's Stars system-
Uniden model’s that are digital, prices lowest to highest:
325P2, 996P2, 436HP, Home Patrol2, 536HP, SDS 100, SDS 200.
The SDS models are expensive, but work flawlessly in counties that use simulcast.

325P2 is the more similar to yours, even though is much more capable and freescan does work with it as well.
If you get a digital, be sure to with Stars, under the 'Type' select 'P25 Standard' and set it for ID Scan.

Whistler brand least expensive are WS1040 portable, WS1065 Desktop

Current ones that won’t work, since they are not digital or a trunktracker-
365CRS, 355-all 355 model types, 125AT, BCT15X, BC75XLT, BCD160DN, BCD260DN, WS1010 and WS1025, All Baofeng’s.

WS1040 and WS1065 won't do STARS, since it’s moving to Phase 2.

Thank you all for your reply. I've followed your leads and agree trunking is not available. Thank you for the info on STARS. I will delete that. I was still surprised FreeSCAN would not add the RACE Systems back in but I'll just sit down and manually re-add the ones I care about. Might stop by Racing Electronics and see if I can pay to clone it again. I appreciate your feedback and lessons taught.

Per your second picture, freescan/you have set to go are those six CONV's, will be sent to your radio.
The racing ones you have set for MOT2 wont and I mentioned, you should delete.
