First, the usual noob apologies and thanks to anyone willing to spend their time responding.
I am in western Travis County and have a BCD396. I have imported the RR data for this area (via arc396) to augment the pre-programmed data.
I run a scan on all frequencies, and it works great. BUT, lately I've noticed that I am missing out on a lot stuff.
Examples:
There is a big SWAT event in north Austin right now and I am not picking up a peep
I am able to get DPS dispatch, but no calls from the officers
The only APD group I pick up is SO Adam
I have all necessary frequencies programmed into the scanner, so I thought it might be a range issue. But I am able to get Williamson County traffic, which is farther away (I'm using a discone antenna).
What am I doing wrong?
