You might want to watch some You Tube videos on Sentinel usage, and how the scanner works. It sounds like you're confused on how to program a trunking system

It sounds stupid, but make sure your squelch is on. First time I turned my 200 on I wondered why it was hanging on conventional channels so long until I noticed my squelch was at 0.

Looks like your closest sites would be either Sparta or Cora. If you're using a favorites list then what I do is add the whole system and delete the sites I don't need in Sentinel.

OK, thanks. Yes my closest is Sparta, I just don;t know how many I need . Get about 40+ at 1st and I;m weeding them out.

What sites are showing on the screen when you're receiving the talk groups? That's the one you want.
