[mswells]

Just updated Firmware, and Database my new sds200. I then uploaded one favorite list, and
its now showing Nothing to Scan.

Set your zip code, make sure service types and scan lists you want to monitor are on.

Look through this checklist for a clue:

Some how, everything must of been removed from the database. I'm not a owner of a SDS-100/SDS200 but I'm sure Uniden Representative(UpMan) or Doctordialtone will be more then happy to assist you once he sees this posting.
This is a GREAT digital handheld so just be patient. Uniden America Corp. has a toll free number of 1-800-297-1023 and then option 2 on Monday. Also you can join Scanner School on Facebook Phil L. (W2LIE) from Long Island will help you get this product going.
Have a nice weekend.

Did you set up any quick keys? And if so are they enabled?

yes....all the quick keys have assignments, and are checked off to use within the favorites file. I am only using 1 favorite file, but it doesn't seem to be activated when I turn on the scanner.

Would really need to see how you programmed it. This could be anything from not actually including a site (required for programming a trunked system) to using location control but having bad location data, to not having the used service types enabled, to...well there are quite a few other possibilities. We're just shooting in the dark, here.

This is a working file that they exported, and emailed to me. I imported into sentinel, and then uploaded to the sds200.

DId you set it to be both downloaded and monitored in the profile?

If it's a file someone sent to you, is it set to use location control? Or do you have location contro set, and have entered your correct location in the scanner? If the list is from someone quite a distance away from you, and is using location, your location potentially could be far enough away that the systems are not enabled.

If you have "Monitor Off", and that's the only list, then you would get "Nothing to Scan".

Go into Sentinel and see if the quick keys are checked as in the photo ..

Monitor Off is your problem. Oddly enough, if you tell the scanner to not monitor a FL, it won't be scanned.

Imagine that!
