STL Metro P25

All,

I used to be able to pick up SLMPD and STLFD EMS on my Uniden BCD396XT. I utilize ScanNow to program the scanner and had the programming in under P25. I could pick up the frequencies after the initial switch to digital, but now cannot pick anything up. Any thoughts or sugggestions?

Thanks!

Eliminate the old set up and make sure you enter the control channel as well as the alternate channels. I made the exact same mistake. Oh, by the way do this manually. I have found this to be much more reliable for all APCO agencies, especially in Illinois countines in Metro East.

Anytime you need help, just ask. I have lots of experience with Uniden scanners. I also have a base scanner model BCD996T.
