I think I'm confusing myself the more I talk. it's a real easy fix and just look at the very first category at the top of your options when you click on the menu and then investigate what options you have within that area. I believe it's two options you have and the bottom one is the one you want to look at where it talks about systems.
I did this but it didnt work. I will hang out on here in case others might helpI'm not where I can look at my radio or anything and give you an exact terminology, but the easiest way to do this is to manually, using the radio, go into the menu, pick the first option at the very top it has to do with quick keys and status or something like that, look at the options you have in there and look around until you figure out what you have turned off that should be turned on. What you've done is turned off all of the systems within that quick key 9. So there's nothing to scan and turning them back on has been a pain on Uniden radios for a long time. There's one other way to do it but this way is the quickest and the only one I can quickly tell you. I wish I had my radio in front of me I could explain more but it's not anything that's a problem with the radio and it is something that's easy to fix. You got to be careful and make sure you don't accidentally lock out all of your systems in any quick key or this will happen because there's no system to scan. I've learned this is one reason I like to break up things and not put them all under one system under any quick key. If it's scanning fast, it's easy to press something like .1 and the radio has already scanned past what you were trying to turn off or on and it will lock out that system if you have been numbering your systems.
I'm going to stop talking before I make this two confusing
I'm sorry I can't proofread this right now but hopefully Google Voice to Text typed everything correctly or came close.

I have 2 systems programmed. I got 1 of them locked out. The other one is scanning ok.....I'm not where I can look at my radio or anything and give you an exact terminology, but the easiest way to do this is to manually, using the radio, go into the menu, pick the first option at the very top it has to do with quick keys and status or something like that, look at the options you have in there and look around until you figure out what you have turned off that should be turned on.

I only used 2 QKS in radio....QK #2 is for RISCON (RI system) and QK #9 is for Mass State Police......no other Quick keys used. Nothing I try works....I even reloaded everything back on to radio from Sentinel and STILL locked out of QK9. In display at top left it shows in a stacked row
OK hang on......I deleted the WHOLE SYSTEM that wasnt scanning....reloaded and it is STILL not scanning....If I set radio to NOT scan RISCON and ONLY scan Mass State PD I get "Nothing to scan"
OK that worked.......I think I DONT need Quick KEys!!!! Too much of a hassle cause normally I set radio to scan my 2 systems and leave it alone.....If I do want to only hear1 system I can go do it from "set scan selection" in menu which is SAFER! Thank you for help!!!! Problem solved (for now)
OK I copied onto notepad the helpful tips you guys suggested. Thank you. Hopefully I wont make this mistake again. BTW using an SDS200. I find it too confusing navigating the QK on/off options. I normally never use them. The only reason I assigned those 2 QKs to my 2 systems was when I first got the radio, I thought you HAD to use them. But like I said if I want to monitor on system at a time I would rather go thru menu to "Set scan selection". But 99% of the time I have both systems running all the time.
OK that explains that! What is confusing is "Favorites list" and "system". I only use 1 favorites list which contains 2 separate systems. No sense to me to assign a QK to a department though, at least in my case.
I see what you mean....none of the sites in QK9 are assigned QKs. I just assigned each of my 2 systems within my 1 Fav list. I'd like to know what I did to turn that site off? I dont even remember touching radio!
OK gotta read manual a few times on this topic.
