Benlee47200 - Depending on the Digital Model, for a 1080/1088 scanner you First have to Program SCANlists for Each County/City you want to Listen to. you need to do this for Both the actual Scanner and the EZ scan software. only then Should upload the channels to the SCANlist banks . I have my 1080, set up by County First then I add Cities in Each County. You can crate a Scanlist just for Statewide Channels or you can just put it in your Primary Scanlist bank. also of note When updating the Channels be Aware of the Service Category and ONLY check items that you are Interested in, the Import your channels by City/County whatever you Pereference is. after you are Done Importing everything you want, its a good idea to Back up your Files , just in case.
