not scanning

[will51792]

I bought a brand new Whistler TRX-1 . I am not receiving anything on it. I used e-scan and it has the frequencies programed in the scanner. I can get the weather on it but nothing else.any ideas why its not working??

Where are you located and what method did you use to program the radio (apparently in EZ Scan) - zip code, county, preferred?

Did you copy the configuration from EZ Scan to your scanner/SD card?

Richland Ga, I used a scan card and download from e-scan... yes I did.

"scan card"?

I assume the e-scan you mentioned a couple of times mean "EZ Scan" software that came with the radio - correct?

Are you in Richland, importing Richland, or both?

It looks like the "default" import for Richland GA imports 202 conventional frequencies (396 for all categories). Most of that appears to be more statewide stuff.

The RRDB information appears to be pretty seriously lacking and/or out of date or perhaps you are in a extremely rural (slow) area that doesn't have all that much to listen to.
