I have the Whistler WS-1080.

I have noticed that all of my trunked systems are listed twice under the Trunked radio systems tab. If I try to delete the duplicate, I get an error message about the file not being found. According to the path in the error message, the files are stored on my Microsoft OneDrive. Ultimately, it does delete the duplicate, but when I close and restart the program, it's back again. Conventional frequencies are not being affected.

In addition, all of the talkgroups appear twice in my scanlists. If I highlight the duplicate talkgroups and remove them, it deletes all talkgroups, both the duplicates and the originals.

Can anyone help? And a side question: How can I choose where the files are saved, i.e., not OneDrive?

To answer your 2nd question, you can archive/save the files anywhere you want.

I save mine to a folder on my laptop C: drive.

I understand I can save the current configuration to any drive I want, in the form of a .zip file. But when I launch the program with a new configuration, it automatically creates a folder called "WS1080 Digital" on my Microsoft OneDrive Documents folder. It didn't ask me where I wanted this folder created, and I don't want it on OneDrive. The programming software apparently doesn't have an option to select where any default folders get created.
