BCD396T Question
From this, I assume that, if I plug in the control freqs for all the STARNet sites, I can treat this as a cell system - when I get too far from the first-listed site to receive it well (above the squelch setting), it will lose that freq and jump to the next. Is that right?
UPMan said:Jon's advice is only relavent for EDACS and LTR systems on Uniden's older scanners. It doesn't mean a thing for the 396. The scanner will stop on the first control channel it can receive and will not check for a control channel on any other frequency (unless reception of the first one goes away). When the scanner is on the system and you are hearing no traffic, if you press HOLD, the scanner should stay on the current control channel and open squelch. You should hear the "motoroboat" noise of the control channel. If you don't then you are not receiving any control channel at all. You need to improve your antenna or position.
