Hi,
I received my BCD396T and started to program it with the Fairfax County frequencies supplied by RadioReference http://radioreference.com/modules.php?name=RR&ctid=2848 I am however having a lot of problems with the reception, the audio I receive is very choppy and only plays for about half a second or so before cutting off.
Here is how I programmed the frequencies.
1) The system I selected was P25
2) Entered System Name of "Fairfax County"
3) I then entered all of the frequencies displayed in the list
Steps 1 - 3 are what I did intitally.
I then set up Talkgroups:
1) Created a group called "Herndon"
2) I then entered the channels below:
Herndon Talkgroups
DEC HEX Description
20976 51f Police Dispatch
21008 521 Police Tactical 1
21040 523 Police Tactical 2
21072 525 Police Tactical 3
21104 527 Police Tactical 4
I entered the DEC number, correct?
I then placed the scanner into Scan Mode, but still receive the same results. The scanner displays the System Name and then "SCAN ID SEARCH" scrolls below that i.e.
Fairfax County
SCAN ID SEARCH
Am I doing something wrong here?
I live in Herndon and so should be able to pick up Reston, Herndon area easily.
Thanks, Mark KB3IPD
