After programming Favorite Lists using Sentinel software, I cannot receive any CT State Police transmissions?? Need help solving this issue. (Connecticut-New London County). Thanks

I think so. I created the Favorites list, then followed the "tree" list USA- Connecticut State Police- Eastern District. Selected all and wrote it to the scanner. On the scanner, I brought up the favorites list and CT State Police was there. Not sure if that's correct. First time using scanner and sentinel software

Did you create a new fav list? If so, when you wrote, did you select Download and Monitor before or writing to the scanner?

Yes, it was the very first Favorites List item. What I did was select "Connecticut State Police- Eastern District". That produced a number of frequencies. I "selected all" and "write to scanner". On the scanner I selected "set scan selection", then "select lists to monitor", then "State Police". ??

I listen to them all the time with no issue. Make sure your favorite list and and assoicated system and departmants are enabled. I have done this a few times where i set up something new and forget to enable it after.
