I have programmed the South Carolina SC HEART DMR system into my SDS200 as I added the DMR option. It shows in my Favorites list and when I read the scanner it also shows in there. When I select that list to scan it comes up: Scan Mode—Nothing to Scan. I have been programming DMR for may years in Motorola and Anytone radios but never into this scanner. Is this showing because no radio traffic being heard or is that favorite list just empty and I have missed something? Thanks

Check for service types!
That's the most likely suspect.

Is this the system you are trying to monitor?

If so, all the listed talkgroups on that system have "Ham" as the service type. Enable that service type in your profile. You can also edit active service types on the scanner.

Select that menu option on the scanner.

If a specific type shows as "On", it will be scanned. If it shows as "Off", the scanner will ignore it. Highlight the service type in question & press the E/enter key to toggle between on & off.

If, as in this example (look at Business) you see dashed lines instead of an On or Off, then there are no channels or talkgroups in your active Favorites list matching that service type.

While you can flip them on or off on the scanner, update your Profile to turn that service type on. Otherwise, if you leave that type unchanged in your profile, it will overwrite your programming, including manually turning that service type "On" on the scanner's menu.

Can you hear communications from Caesar's Head Mountain? The SCHeart 443.1125 DMR repeater is up there. I rarely hear much on anything but the PRN talk group (2) is on Slot 2 and is always on. Most other traffic is on the local talkgroups on Slot 1, but the Greenville local TG 27500 is pretty quiet. The NC-PRN TG is the same as the SCHeart PRN and should be on the Asheville DMR repeater.

i live in pumpkintown and although i can hear Caesars Head PRN fine on all slots i cant get into it. I have to use Glassy Mtn. which is a lesser rssi for me. i was wondering if something might be up with that site. Maybe others have an issue getting in as well.
