garys,
Did you program it in as MOT II standard or MOT II custom reband ???
I am using as a base but am limited to an indoor home brew antenna. I live in RI on the border with MA and am able to hear them with the HP1 and rubber duck. Antenna is a 3 band home brew J POLE on the BCT15X
thanks for your reply.

Last I knew it was encrypted.
I don't believe dispatch, TG 008, is encrypted on Bristol's Analog Type II system.

You two do realize that we're talking about the Bristol County, MASSACHUSETTS sheriff's department, right? That's why we're in the MASSACHUSETTS forum.

I am well aware you are discussing Bristol County, MA, I am only 70 miles from Bristol County. Last I looked Bristol County has it's own analog 800mhz Type II system and the Bristol County Sheriff used TG 008 (Hex) for it's dispatch. I just looked at the Databse and what is programmed into my radio matches what is in the database.
Where else is there a Bristol County in New England? OK , Rhode Island, but that is on RISCON and Sheriffs statewide and not on their own TG.
I have to ask, do you not leave MASSACHUSETTS ? I used to live in MASSACHUSETTS, my brother lives in MASSACHUSETTS and when I travel to MASSACHUSETTS , for both work and personal excursions, I listen to MASSACHUSETTS.
So, why are you wasting time talking about encryption when there is none on the system? The OP either has a programming issue or is just using enough antenna.
Because if you read up the first responses stated that the BCSO was encrypted. As someone stated it was encrypted, I responded that the BCSO was not encrypted. You see that is what people call sharing known information for the benefit of the the person seeking the information, and the benefit of the whole. That is the purpose of these forums.
Might I consider you actually read this thread rather than just rant? Or would rather just incorrectly rant about something?
I'll give your comments all of the consideration they deserve and continue to try to help the OP figure out what his issue is.
garys,
Thanks for your help. I reprogrammed the custom/reband and I started receiving but, a weak signal. Moved the J Pole close to a window and improved quite a bit. So in the next few days got to try to figure out a better antenna system. Tried the RS800 Mhz antenna and about equal to the J Pole.
Want to thank you for leading me in the right direction.
