SDS100/SDS200: New to SDS200 favorites

[radioopperator]

I have a used SDS200. When I use BUTEL or sentinal it shows California and AZ in the database. Then my favorites. Is there a way to remove both of those and just scan what want to put in the scanner?

Read scanner into either program. Open editor and delete Ca and Az. If your fav lists are good, then just write back to the scanner.

Can you post a screenshot shot showing what’s in the scanner?

Will try to post picture may take a bit. But in both programs the CA and AZ full databases anything to do with removing is greyed out so no joy
in removing. Was thinking on looking at what it takes to wipe everything out and start from scratch?

Perform a factory reset on the scanner.

Clear User Data

(Full Reset) will delete all Favorites Lists, locations, reset all profile options to default, clear all Avoids, delete all recording sessions, all discovery logs, and all weather event records.

Note: Pressing and holding 2, 9, and Dept (softkey2) when you power on the scanner will also clear all user data.

I was able to clear the state database out. But there is one other issue I seem to have?
If I use the login to the R/R to fill the scanner for the life of me with both programs I cant
find the California highway patrol?

I'm talking wen I go into sentinal or the Butel software either i'm blind or I cant see it so I can download it into the scanner?
I don't see the California Highway patrol or Highway patrol listing?

Select California Then the County, then Statewide.

Ok thanks I found it went to state then skipped county and went to agency.

Some metro areas (Sacramento, S.F. Bay Area, L.A. metro area, San Diego) also have regional trunking, including local interoperable networks, so depending on where you are, good idea to check those. Otherwise, as far as I know, the CHP is one of the few systems that still use the 41-48 MHz VHF low band, so make sure your antenna is long enough.
