Like I said in my private mail to you, you are relying on the card 
already being tuned to something. Thus scan has no idea what frequency 
to put in the szap file.

You need to give it an initial transponder to look at. Check the scan 
docs/source dir..

In this example you got lucky, the front end was already tuned to 
something. scan -c will not try to tune and will only scan the 
transponder the card is already pointing at..
