SDS100/SDS200: I got a problem

[baloumax]

Hi all i own a sds 100 my problem is i used to do a overnight discovery got a bunch of hits even if they were enxrypted etc

Now SINCE I FORGOT MY SCANBER IN MY LOADER IN -20 celcius. It finds nothing on trunked discovery and when i scan still nothing but i do pick up weather
What could be wrong

Coincidence my old uniden scanner seems quiet too

Expected operation on discovery sessions, just like when you're scanning conventional channels with no tones set...

You might have issues with condensation leaving it out in the freezing temperature overnight. I would not keep it on, and give it a day inside to dry out. Unplug the battery as well. But I know I am over cautious with electronics, ever since I had a Motorola portable radio in my back pocket while I jumped from a Navy tugboat in the middle of Chesapeake Bay to another tug and the radio fell out of my pocket. Divers happened to be on the tug and retrieved it. 2 days later it was nothing but corrosion inside. And I had washed it with fresh water as soon as I was on shore in the radio shop. Water and electronics don't mix well

I'd for sure check the sd card.

The most common causes of "Nothing to Scan" issues is Service Types and Location. If you are using the Full Database be sure that the location is set properly. Then check that your Service Types are turned on.

Same goes for Favorites Lists.

That, for starters, means it's lost all it's programming. I suggest you check you SD card and replace if needed

I'm Scared to use my 200 mobile for this very reason. The Condensation demons would get me.

Sometimes a location like punching in zipcode or auto locate will solve that problem of nothing to scan

@baloumax
To the OP post a copy of your scanner file from your software and we can see if it is a programming issue or send you a correct working copy to send to your scanner.
