SDS100/SDS200: Not Receiving One DMR Channel with SDS100

I'm trying to understand why I'm no longer able to receive 151.205 DMR, Color Code 1, Slot 2, Talkgroup 6667 on my SDS100. Recently I could, but now the only way to receive it is if I manually stop the scan on that channel. I'm comparing my ability to receive/not receive by a side-by-side with my TRX-1. Obviously the DMR option is installed on the SDS100.

On the SDS100 I actually have this channel set up as a DMR single frequency and also a conventional channel set to receive in any mode and I can hear neither when in scan mode. I also have other DMR channels on 151.0625 and 151.2425 that I'm able to receive perfectly, but not 151.205. Can anyone suggest how to fix this issue? I can't think of what to do next. Thanks.

Are you sure you don't have it avoided or locked out?
When manually stopped on the frequency is the display showing the same CC# and talk group #?
You didn't accidentally turn off a service type in the service type menu?

All of those items that you mention have been checked. Besides, just starting or stopping the scan makes the difference whether receiving is possible. When manually stopped on the channel receive works, but when scanning the radio skips over the frequency and will not receive it.

When in conventional and analog mode, if you have it set to All in audio it will begin as analog, then the squelch detect will stop scan and then it starts to analyze the audio signal and during that time it will be heard as digital noise. But your scanner never stops scan.

Try set the same conventional channel 3 times next to each other so it will stay longer on that frequency during scan, and also try and set to analog only. If you have a totally different frequency band being scanned just before this channel then it can take a longer time to switch between bands.

All the different features like Service Type and Broadcast Screen are only active during scanning and not when holding onto a frequency or manually tuning.
