I have the MSWIN for Brandon fire programmed into my HP-2 but have never heard a word from Brandon fire, are the talkgroups right or what?
Thanks,
Be safe

I've been given a RadioShack Pro-164 and apparently haven't a clue what I'm doing trying to program it with ARC300. I pull the RR info for Pearl (Rankin County), including the frequencies and talk groups, through ARC300. Load it in Bank 0 (also tried it in Bank 1) of the scanner. Unplug my cable when it tells me to. Press the Scan button on the scanner. Try and listen - but never hear anything yet my Scanner Pro app on my phone running at the same time has plenty of traffic. I also tried just loading all of Rankin County into a bank and still never hear anything. Pressed the weather button on the scanner and that works great! Any help, directions, instructions, etc. in a quick manner would be greatly appreciated as I'm on the 30-day free trial of ARC300. haha!
BFD previously used non-MSWIN but there have been a lot of changes in the last month. There has been a system upgrade moving units to phase 2 which requires a newer version of hardware that a lot of older scanners don't currently have installed. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't think your model is phase 2 compatible although I fully expect you to double check me on that. I have all phase 2 channels scanning on my Rankin county scanner feed so try listening to the feed then compare what you are expecting to hear on your scanner. That will take some time, but it's much cheaper than buying a new scanner if it's not needed.

I understand completely as I constantly keep a ravpower battery pack with me to keep my phone charged. In case you are interested in a phase 2 compatible scanner, the Uniden BCD996P2 is what I use for the feed. I have been a Uniden fan since the 80s cause they make solid equipment, but I'm thinking of the Whistler TRX-2 next time around. Whistler covers NXDN which I'm told Pafford is moving to soon (or already has), and I haven't seen plans for a Uniden NXDN scanner. Systems get upgraded quick in our neck of the woods and Whistler seems to be quicker adapting to new technologies.
Yes, I looked at the TRX-1 and TRX-2 and will probably go with one of those specifically because I read about not only them handling Phase 2 but also ProVoice and NXDN. Also to get the NXDN update for the TRX units, Whistler charges something like another $70. Or maybe that was for the ProVoice update? Or for each update? I don't recall exactly.
BTW, you are the person providing the Rankin County feed, yes? Nice to finally "meet" you and say thank you!
Y'all are very welcome, and I'm glad to be of service. That's some good information about upcoming changes milf so I'll have to update feeds when changes go live. I don't usually find out about changes until they are live, and usually I notice a spike in feed numbers which I can only assume is people listening to the feed cause their personal scanners are missing audio.
Anyone hear Jackson Fire I haven't heard anything out of them all day I hear JPD just fine but JFD has been silent
