Hello everyone. I just got my new BCT15 in the mail today. My first impressions of it are good, although it's a little smaller that I would like it to be since I'm using it as a base. But that's no biggie. It sure is different than my old PRO-2052, and better at that.
I understand somewhat about the new memory system. I have all of my conventional frequencies programmed using the ScanControl demo. But I'm kind of stuck on trunking. I've read up on both manuals (the book and the easier-to-read). I tried programming a trunking system that worked on the PRO-2052, an EDACS system. Using ScanControl, I created a new system and named it "EDACS" then I input the trunking frequencies as "Site 1" (for now). But, it didn't seem to trunk track it when I finished. It's like it's not picking up the data channel. Maybe I set it wrong? Do I set the trunking frequencies as a site or a group, or both?
Second, how do I get the scanner to display the frequency instead of the modulation when it stops on a conventional frequency? I think this scanner can do that, but I can't seem to find how to do it.
Otherwise, I'm happy so far with the BCT15. The screen could be a little better, but I can see it from where I'm sitting so I guess it'll be fine. Anyway, thanks for any help.
