Again, Thank you
It is awesome to have the vast knowledge base to bounce things off of !!!
Again, I will try to give answers to some of the replies...
(Q)...Just to clarify, you mentioned Scottsdale PD specifically, but are you picking up ANY traffic of any agency on the RWC? I'm trying to ascertain if this is an issue with your scanner function/programming or if it's specific to SPD.
(A)...Per suggestions earlier, I have only uploaded the Simulcast H file and associated talkgroup file. So, I do not even know if I can other transmissions.
(Q)...I'm trying to ascertain if this is an issue with your scanner function/programming or if it's specific to SPD.
(A)... This is the first Digital Scanner I have owned and I am very intimidated by all of the possible controls that can be altered in the Win500 program, so all I have done, is uploaded exactly (as it is), in the Files on RR. If there is something more to it, it could very well be (Operator Error) that is my problem
(Q)...Being located near McDonald Drive you should be able to clearly receive Simulcast H towers.
(A)...That is what I thought, I know it is completely different now, but I used to scan them back in the day when it was analog, and had no issues with signal at all.
(Q)...If you're receiving other agencies on the RWC and are confident in your programming of SPD control channel/backups
(A)...I will try uploading other files from RR for the RWC and see if they work......That being said, I am definitely NOT CONFIDENT in my programming......LOL
(Q)...One final word of advice from someone who has been there: Before you invest money in antennas, etc.and pull out your hair over this (I did...) consider cutting your losses and research Unication or SDS100.
(A)...Too late for the hair...lol.... I have until mid January to return the WS1040, so if I can confirm the programming is done correctly (would appreciate suggestions on how, with my scanner ignorance, I can do this) and the scanner is functioning as it should, and still have no luck, I will return the scanner, and look into the SDS100 or the Unication...
Again, thank you, you have all been so helpful, thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to reply, and please know every response is greatly appreciated...
