I need help programming digital 700 mhz in to a bcd996p2 scanner

[ems324]

I have tried just about everything to be able to listen to the SCPD, which recently upgraded to all digital. I am at my wits end with this scanner. Please don't tell me to look up how to program digital because I've looked on Youtube, I've spent HOURS programming all the frequencies and all the TGID's. I would like to "speak" to someone on here who knows how to program the scanner and how I should go about programming the scanner. I have a BCD996p2.

i will send a personal message with the manual way to program.
then at least you can hear something.

How have you been programming it, and what is SCPD?

This system Sufflock County is setup as two separate systems, a 700 and 800 Trunk Systems in the county issued radios.

Talk groups will normally be on one of the two system layers.
Police and law enforcement will be on the 800MHz Cells.
County Fire and Townwide Talkgroups should be on the 700MHz Cell.

If all you have programmed in is the 700Mhz towers you will never hear the PD.

Check your private messages in upper right corner.

...and what is SCPD?

Assuming Suffolk County Police Department? ​

@ems324 are you inquiring about SCPD on Suffolk County's trunked radio system? You may be facing a well documented phenomenon known as simulcast distortion if you're within range of two or more towers on any of the listed simulcasts (this wouldn't apply to sites 005, 006, 007 or 008 as they're single-site) Read about what it is and how to mitigate it in the wiki linked below but ultimately you'd be much better off with an SDS100 or SDS200 to track simulcast systems

I wasn't sure, there's a Bayshore NY just west of the Buffalo area near Lake Erie. I was born in that area light years ago.
