Generally I program scanners for talkgroups that I want or might want to listen to and use ID SCAN almost exclusively and tend not to use ID SEARCH very often at all. So in the weeks I have owned this scanner I have not ventured into ID SEARCH, but decided to hit FUNC E/yes today as the scanner scanned the system I listen to and was quite surprised to find out this scanner is missing almost everything that my older scanners are picking up (again) including analog talkgroups. There are a few IDs that the scanner stops on without issue, but most hits on the older scanners are missed by the 536. All service types are ON (not that that should matter).
Does this scanners ID SEARCH not work the same as all the other Uniden scanners in existence or is this yet another flaw in this scanner?
From the manual Pg 54 what does this mean??
Toggle ID Scan or ID Search
While scanning each Trunked System, press Func then E/yes.
Note: ID Search is not available with the Database.
Is scanning exclusively with a Favorites List considered the Database??
If so, why am I getting a few IDs that I haven't included in my FL as hits when ID SEARCHING?
