ProScan: Import from RR Database error

[BTFire21]

Hello,
When trying to import the Nationwide Common Business frequencies from the RR database I get none shown in proscan. If I click the link to the webpage it takes me to the correct pages and shows the VHF-LO,VHF,UHF, and 900mhz common business channels. I am on version 24.8 and other categories import just fine.

No issues here on 24.8

On my other instances of Proscan it shows fine. I have even deleted the directory and created a new instance still the same issue.

Nevermind. User error. I needed to select a state for it populate. I thought for Nationwide the State didnt matter in the lookup. Thanks for the screenshot @GTR8000

That's bizarre. Just for grins and giggles, does it change if you select a state?

Okay yeah, I had a feeling that was it. Maybe @ProScan can change that behavior so it doesn't require you to select a state first.

Maybe? I am not a stupid person,although I do stupid things....Without your screenshot it wouldnt have taken me longer for it to click.

Thank you

I'll look into it.

{edit} The Country needs to be selected and not the State.

Now that I looked at it closer, A State does need to be selected. I see in In Sentinel, Nationwide is listed under each State and not separately.

Yeah, it is kind of weird how they have it structured in Sentinel where the nationwide listings appear under every county in every state...not sure why Paul did that, but I'm sure he had his reasons.

No problem, I had a hunch that was it. Feel free to upvote my post so I get a credit for helping you solve it 😂

I'm going to look at this to see what the Nationwide differences are between the sates.

There's no difference at all between any of the states/counties within the U.S. The way the RRDB is structured, each nationwide page has its own unique Agency ID (AID). In fact, there are no links to those listings anywhere in the RRDB on state/county pages, you have to navigate to the Nationwide listings from the main RRDB page to find them.

Sentinel, on the other hand, is structured so that every county in every state has a Nationwide category with all of the sub-category listings. They aren't unique, but rather all point back to the same directory, hence why any permanent lockouts persist no matter what state/county you navigate to.

I made a change in ProScan so a state doesn't need to be selected. Thanks for the info.
