I too have the “Scan Mode, Nothing to Scan” issue. But it only happens to some of the Favorites that I create. I’m creating them by “Appending” the category to a freshly created Favorite from the Sentinel software. For example, I add Railroad, Airports, Fire, and Law to Favorites. Each respectively. The Railroad and Airports work great. But both Fire and Law give “Nothing to Scan”. I have read every hit on that message on Google, and on this site, and done everything suggested on them. Here is what I’ve done.
1. I’ve set my Location to scan the Database.
2. I’ve made sure my Favorites Lists are enabled in Set Scan Selection.
3. I’ve made sure Service Types are enabled for the Channels you want to hear.
4. I’ve made sure Use Location Control is Off.
5. I’ve sure longitude and latitude are N and W (for N America).
6. I’ve made sure Systems/Departments/Channels are not Avoided. Nothing is.
7. I’m NOT making anything a Quick key (Do I need to?)
8. I have all 4 Favorites set to Download and Monitor.
9. I have ALL service types checked.
Being that I’m adding all items the same way, I don’t understand why some work and some don’t. I really don’t want to return this scanner but I’m so frustrated with it. I’ve literally spent 15+ hours on this so far. I’m a 40 year programmer so I hate to think this is too complicated for me. Someone please tell me what I’m missing! Thank you.
