Hi- not sure if this post should go under the Uniden Tech forum or this one?
Receiver: Uniden BCD996XT
Antenna: RS scanner expendable, reception excellent
Just got back into scanner monitoring after a break of a few months. For "fun" I deleted my site for "Phoenix PD" and re-entered- using ONLY Law Dispatch TalkGroups (none of the "useless" TGs such as "Operations" etc- only dispatch- the fun stuff) and all "Simulcast A" for Phoenix Police as listed in RR's RWC database to start fresh in case any changes were made in that time- FYI my last site I had programmed I focused on Law Dispatch and that is what I heard over the scanner, few to zero "mystery TGs" would pop in interrupting my scanner listening.
The only stuff I find interesting would be the police calls - I did add TG "1406" for our Light Rail law dispatch and ONE only TG for Sky Harbor 1198 "Emergency Dispatch" - what is DIFFERENT now when I listen is I keep getting very boring hits on the scanner that I did NOT get before! I find TGs that I did not enter- for instance some Solid Waste TGs and some Sky Harbor Operations TGs. I take it these emanated from the Control Channel freqs I entered from the Phoenix PD RR listings? When these pop up I immediately hit L/O to lock them out- unfortunately it happens so fast I miss the freqs they were under- only the TG is shown when I search Locked Outs.
Did something change in RWC database or Phoenix's radio system that is making this happen? I even deleted site, started over- same issue. Lots of "bogus" useless TGs popping up. I didn't add these- they are just popping up out of the blue. They are annoying. One useless TG (sky harbor operations) I noticed showed same frequency as one of those listed for Phoenix PD in the RWC database (I cant remember what it was- I only noticed it when I hit the L/O but only the TG will show in locked out listings sorry)
I don't recall this happening before and I wonder if the frequencies have changed in the past couple months causing this minor annoyance. I only care about Law Dispatch that's it but I keep getting these dumb calls over the scanner nothing to do with law dispatch.
SO like I said- some of the frequencies listed under PHOENIX PD in RWC cause "useless" TGs that are not police calls to pop up in my searches.
Any advice or? not sure if there is anything one can do but these boring non-dispatch calls get old and it's a pain to run up to L/O them each time they happen. When one Locks Out a TG one cannot find out which frequency it was under? I did look at the "Easier To Read" marksscanners online manual and I dont see a workaround for that.
Thanks for any advice hope this makes sense I am rather new to the scanners thing
