My scanner has stopped receiving the Southwest Ontario OPP (Norfolk) channels. Has something changed that I’m not aware of? It’s been offline since the beginning of September. I’ve have checked to make sure something hasn’t been deleted but all seems fine. Any help would be appreciated.

Start searching the freq's for the tower. That's how I found the new system in Oxford and start with the freq mentioned above. As of typing this Norfolk and Oxford are patched using TG 17328 on Oxford tower.
I have a Uniden Bearcat BCD996T which is connected to a outside antenna. Received the OPP just until a month ago. And I do have that frequency programmed in. I’m wondering if the talk group has changed?
I’m going have to start searching frequencies

Will the old 996T still provide audio if he's sitting on T/Gs 8368 (1OPS11) or 8432 (1OPS15) if those T/Gs are patched together, or does he need to add the patch ID (17328) to his radio's database?
There were many discussions here 'back in the day' when patchee were causing all kinds of grief with certain radios.

Sorry, I only have a first gen TrunkTracker so I can't help there. I use SDRs and software.
The 996T does NOT track patched talkgroups. So if the patch moved to a different talkgroups simply listening to the one talkgroup won't work. Put the radio in ID SEARCH or program in the other talkgroups
Nope. You need to add the patched talkgroup

They could have switched over to the new Public Safety Radio Network (PSRN) Zone 1 TRS. Check and see if any of the local OPP frequencies have a P25 control channel on them. If so, this will explain where they have migrated to.

Nobody has switched over yet.
