Hello fellow listens,
I am inquiring today about the new Carrollton P25 system., i am mostly interested in Farmers Branch for now.
i have been trying to monitor this new system and they have been testing their
radios daily and so far i can't hear anything. i have a brand new BCD436HP
and i have followed all the set up and programming directions and i have updated the firmware
and updated the full database for our area. i see that the old system in Carrollton is still up and running and all the info. and i receive all of them fine, and for what i need is there,
but after checking the databases from both here and Uniden i noticed that there isn't any
new channels for FBPD on the new Carrollton P25 system, i noticed that Russell updated the freq's/ for the new system but that's all there is there. no id's or anything else.
does anyone have input on this please?
also i remember when we first started talking about this new build that there was mention of FBPD and other agencies going and being on the Dallas TRS system which i believe is up and running, as well as on the Carrollton P25 system but i don't hear any traffic from them either.
i spent a lot of money on this new scanner and i took the advice of buying it from some friends i have here, i want to make sure that i set it up right and not damage it by over-programming because i missed something or didn't set something right.
at this point in my life my eyesight is rather bad and trying to read this owners manual that came with this new unit plus working on the Sentinel software on my computer gives me frequent headaches which totally stink because i work on this radio daily because i never know when my internet will go down.
I am grateful for any and all help with this situation.
Stay Safe and God bless
Tony
