You don't say if you have installed the included software and done the firmware update and what version of the database you are using? Have you tried adjusting the range? Have you examined the db to see if the department you want is in your db? Have you tried creating a FAVE list to you which you "drag" the specific dept? Do you have the "services" selected from the Menu? It could be a lot of things since you don't really expain enough...have you posted this Question on the "homepatrol.com" under with general Q&A or the state specific Forum for you state?

The subcategory on Starcom21's GPS coordinates were listing Decatur/Macon County's talkgroups (channels) as being in Massachusetts. Since the Home Patrol's data came from Radioreference, it didn't know that Decatur/Macon County's talkgroups were in your area.

I fixed the GPS location on Radioreference. I don't know what process you have to do to get the updates to your scanner.

Uniden will run an update in the next several days, when that happens he can download the new database in the software.

I think they are up to once per week updates. They had been running almost nightly builds while there was a lot of change in the database.
