So. I'm not sure what you mean by that. I went into sentinel, added ARMER as a favorite, that automatically added the whole state. Then I took that list and set them all to avoid but one county. When I tried that it didn't scan anything. Said "nothing to scan". I have the full data base OFF only my favorite ARMER is ON. I must have something out of order.
When you Write to Scanner, Download and Monitor must both be on for the favorites list in the Profile Editor. Download sends the favorites list to the scanner. Monitor enables it to scan.
