Kennewick fire police

[reddog2002]

I have a uniden BCT8 scanner. I plugged the new frequencies in and I'm not picking anything up for the fire department. I think the police is still on the trunk frequencies but haven't tried the reband stuff yet. I did the firmware update to the scanner. I cant get my scanner to id scan. Is this do to the firmware update?
Thanks for your help

I can't tell you why you're not hearing the fire frequencies, but the Kennewick police are on the Benton County P-25 digital trunked system. Unfortunately, no amount of firmware updates will allow the BCT-8 scanner to pick that system up. You will need a new, digital scanner for that.
