Once upon a time, I successfully programmed my 396XT for a road trip through Colorado (Las Animas, Huerfano, Pueblo, and El Paso Counties). Sadly, I accidentally deleted the file I created in FreeSCAN so when I was to do another trip through the same area, I had to recreate the file from scratch.
During my trip, however, I heard no activity. None at all, although the scanner indicated it was scanning, and the signal strength meter indicated that the control channels were being received, and the select few talk groups were programmed.
Since the scanner worked as expected while in New Mexico, I have to assume that the issue is a programming error, made by yours truly, and not the equipment. I also assume that I may have selected the wrong System Type as I can't remember which selection I made the last time. I selected Mot Type II / P25. Was that correct?
