Hi again,

> SCANNING: 635000000 (us-bcast:41)

I tracked it down.  For some reason it was pointing at the wrong
mplexid.

mysql> select * from channel where channum=56.1;

But...

As you can see based on the scan, it really wants mplexid 132 (and freqid
41).  Once I change the mplexid the station tunes.

Weird.  Looks like a bug in the scanner?
