OK all of Ohio, Why isn't my 536 picking up all of the MARCS radio service, I haven't heard ODOT, Corrections, or ODNR. All I have done is enter zip code for location, and updated the firmware. I am picking up OSP, and local law enforcement, but nothing else. What did I do wrong?

Thanks in advance

All that you mention are not on MARCS, they have moved to MARCS-IP (as all will soon).

When was the last time you updated your database? You will need to update weekly, or watch the threads in the Ohio forum and do it yourself.

Glad to see you moved that rock. I suggest you follow this thread for changes to MARCS / MARCSIP.

Make sure you Click Menu > Select Service Types > Turn on Corrections and Public Works and other Service types you want to monitor.

Please report back if this solves your dilema.
