Hello All,
I was a big scanner back in the crystal days and just last year it appears that Houston switched systems and my old analog scanners became silent. After saving up, I purchased a BCD396XT last week and promptly joined Radio Reference.
I had read the forums and some posting on the NEW programming nightmare I was about to embark upon and decided to follow the suggestions:
1. Join Radio Ref.
2. Download Proscan
3. Download Database
4. Program scanner with upload.
I went through this and all went very smooth just like the advice. Only problem is nothing is heard. It is scanning and I see the channels in there, but it's silent as my analog. I am sure I have missed something or done something wrong. I would appreciate any advice or help anyone can give me. I love listening to police in my area to know whats going on around me so I have invested heavily with this equipment and would just like to get it to work. Thanks in advance!
