BCD325P2 Mass State Police help

[Tshee23]

Just recently purchased a BCD325P2, I’m located in Weymouth which I know Zone 5 is my ideal site, but tried programming it like I did with my BC15X with the Motorola Smartzone ll , but haven’t heard anything yet. I put in the custom band plans and everything. If anyone can help me would be appreciated. I’d like to be able to listen to Troops A, H and D

Are you programming the scanner manually or with some software?

Are there any other frequencies already programmed into the scanner that are working?

If you are using programming software, I will be happy to take a look at your file to check it for problems. You will need to zip the file to be able to attach it. Click on Attach files and open the zipped file.

Manually, I have Zones 1, 3 and 5 programmed in. And yes all my digital frequencies around here are coming in

I don't understand what you are doing. Tere are no digital talkgroups except for Franklin County, Greenfield and radio techs if you programmed the Motorola Type II SmartZone system. Is this the site you are using?

005 (5)	Metro Boston Simulcast	Statewide	854.0875c	854.5625c	854.6125c	856.0625c	859.7125	858.9875	857.9875
			857.7125	856.9625	856.7125

If so, there are no rebanded frequencies. System type should be MOT and band plan should be 800/900 Standard.

When I said digital frequencies I meant my other banks, not part of the MSP stuff, sorry for the miscommunication. I think it’s just coming down to poor reception I guess
