Nothing To Scan

[mbrewer1]

Trying to activate my old bcd996t unit which reads "Scan Mode Nothing To Scan". I have tried to upload a channel list using Fssetup 218-6 but the program does not find my unit.
Any help would be appreciated.

good luck!

Check here:

Easier to Read BCD996T/UBCD996T Digital Scanner Manual

Notes: If no systems are programmed, or all systems (or groups in a system) are locked out or turned off, 'Nothing to Scan' appears. Turn on a system/site quick key or unlock a system/site to scan. If you turn off all groups in a system you will not be able to turn any back on and also see 'Nothing to Scan'. This is a bug that frustrates everybody. In that case, while in Scan mode, press and hold Func (●) to lock function mode. Scroll to the system then press the number of the group quick key(s) you want to enable. Press ● to start scanning then press ● again to unlock function mode."

If it is not uploading to the scanner, you probably have a communication issue. Click on the Scanner tab in FreeSCAN and Control Scanner. Click on COM Port Setup and Start Auto. It should auto detect your scanner. Close out and try uploading to your scanner again.
