SDS100/SDS200: SDS100 will not select a WX freq when scanning?

So if you do "Channel", "162.400", "Channel" you don't hear it?

nope

I see another of your posts mentions Sarasota, FL. If that's where you live the NWS reports that 162.400 in that area is out of service.

Does your scanner receive other stuff? Have you tried taking it outside? The 162.4 that you hear on your wx radio, is it playing stuff and giving reports for your area?

Add all the NWS frequencies and see if any adjacent areas are still transmitting.
May not be as clear but may get some

Press Func then press and hold 6(WX) to enter Weather Scan

This will let you see which NWS frequencies you are able to receive.

I may have missed it, but did your SDS100 ever receive 162.400?
