I have a Uniden SD200, and I use Sentinel to program. I live in central Ohio, and I am trying to monitor Licking and Fairfield counties Fire companies. Particularly Violet township, Licking County Fire, and Fairfield County fire. For instance, I can hear the dispatch but not the units responding. I know one, for example I hear the dispatch and dispatcher say your run is on 45ems for (licking county) and 23LFD for Lancaster Fire Department (Fairfield County). Not able to find and programming for their “talk groups” to program any suggestions?

Welcome to the RR forums McNasty1:
Once you get those talkgroups added to a favorites list you'll also need to turn on the "EMS-Tac" service type for TGID 28518 to be scanned, "EMS-Tac" is not enabled by default. "Fire Dispatch" is enabled by default for TGID 16857 which is why you can hear fire dispatches. However "Fire-Tac" will need to be enabled to hear fire ops in both counties, this is not enabled by default. Refer to the "Tag" column per talkgroup table in the RRDB to see what service types coincide with what talkgroups
