[QUOTE="Rvator, post: 960462, member: 402382"] Good news mid4did on the handset and as Lazarus says that display means 'Searching'. So now you have the gadget the fun begins .......... As a suggestion seeing as you have no use for what is currently stored in the control box about previous satellite searches look back for recent forum posts on details of resetting the satellite memory. The process does involve having the green wire connected to positive 12volts DC however for your installation that's likely to be the case and wired in via the ignition switch but check anyway as it's also a safety feature. If you don't already have them you'll need to go to the Scan Teriuer web site and download the instructions, last I looked November 2014 were the latest. As mentioned we are using the Nov2014 criteria in our box and they were active when we last used the system three months ago. Although we used the ST stuff you might want to take a look again at posts from last year where myself, HelenH and others looked at establishing an alternative set of criteria to those provided by ST and Helen was successful in setting those up in their van. So you have a choice however which ever way you go you will end up with a sore thumb holding down the left and right buttons while it scrolls through the frequency setup so several mugs of tea and chocolate biscuits to hand.
