Help Please

[Jamjac]

Was an avid scanner for years, been out of it for a while, well now back into it and wow everything has changed. Anyways just bought a Uniden BCD396XT, what fun programming it, for one system, MY question for help is Did the Suffolk County TGID's change in the last few days, because I went to program a new system and any TGID (DEC) I enter it says invalid any help would be greatly appreciated, Thank You

Nothing has changed on the Suffolk MOTO system, however, it sounds as a setting inside your scanner has changed.

Go into your scanner's menu, click Program System, then select the Suffolk Moto System.
Then click on Edit Sys Options, then scroll down to Set ID Format.

Make sure you are using DEC and not HEX. Then try entering the Talk Group IDs you want to program into your scanner are decimal mode. (you'll see two formats in the RR Database, DEC and HEX). Use DEC, it is a bit easier.
