Did you enable the scan lists? Do you have any numbers, 1-10 on the display? If not, you'll need to press the number buttons to get it going.

i think? everything is on the first scan list.the "1" shows up while scanning.i don't have a metal roof or walls so i don't know what the problem is.

Where and what are you scanning? Do you have trunking channels mixed with conventional? When you press MAN, are there frequencies programmed into memory? If so, use the up/down arrows to go through the scan list. Are all the frequencies in the scanner? Are they all entered correctly? Do you use software to program?

i do pgm*new*conv*freq*ent*save then scan.no trunked frequencies just conventional channels all stored on the default list one.just tried using it outside in case there was something in my house blocking a signal.no luck.if i delete all the frequencies can someone give me a step by step on programming this?

What is the location that you are trying to program? There is a chance that they no longer use the conventional frequencies or are just do not talk very much.

if you want a video tutorial (idk if you already tried this route) this guy is pretty good. i learned from this guy what to do, so consider looking at this guy's channel and see if you're missing any key steps
