This scanner is a piece of junk. Mine will not program properly. I have had 2 or 3 other brands of scanners and had no problem!

Sorry I can't help with this question. I had to return mine since it didn't work.

Enter the desired frequency and you are communicating. Spend the extra $6 and buy the programming cable. Much easier to enter frequencies from a computer.

no clue! ours doesn't work either, even tho the (800) number I spoke to before hand said it would! still trying to figure it out and see if we can make it work - very annoying

I really could not be sure. Perhaps the battery is low or not very fresh. Maybe a re-programming of the code. Could be you are in an area with too much interference in the air when outside. I wish I could say for sure. I wish you better luck in the future though.

I have two units. One is 50013-001-102 and the newer is 50013-001-103. Both are identical and run the same software.

Just make sure you have the right file format. I tried but it didn't work. Radio is really cheap.

I found the same thing, the software is garbage. What you need to do is go online and download a software called "chirp" with this software you will be able to program your radio. Save the information on it as a file then enter in your information and upload to the radio and away you go.Best of luckKB1Jdi ( the jedi )

Check the LNB rotation. Also, I noticed that for some transponders, changing the LNB frequency gets the quality going.

It mostly stays on the same channel. At times, if I'm trying to change to channel 209 for example, it would only ready one of the numbers and change to channel 2 or 9 instead. After multiple times trying, it usually works. But there are times where the effort is not really worth it.

The "programming" is not the issue. Getting to the point where you understand the prerequisites is the issue. I strongly suggest that you get a copy of "The (Chinese) Radio Documentation Project" by Lennart Lidberg (the URL that I used is: http://radiodoc.github.com. Time spent in this document is an investment in your radio. After you understand the wiff and poof, programming the radio is duck soup. Good Luck, Have Fun.

Sync it There's a code you have to press try 0000 normally that works for everything or look at your manual

It sounds like you are not signed up correctly with XM. I would call them and make sure you have given them the right information. Also, you might try refreshing the radio. There is a process online for this or the XM rep can assist you.

Don't know and have not been able to program it on my PC yet either. Very confusing process.

Needs to be reprogrammed. Contact Fortres and they can walk you through it..

Try switching thhe code dip switches. It sounds like you have an inteference on the current code channel.

Look up your city on https://www.radioreference.com/. That will tell you the freq to program into the radio. For example Clark County, Wisconsin uses a mix of P25, FMN and FM modes. I'm sure it will work once you program it using Freescan Software.

I have the same problem call united states 8666952237 Canada 8667062237. I had to program it for some reason not everything was programmed on my computer so you may want to start there.
