I work as a Police Officer and used to be partnered with a guy who used a BCD996XT scanner in the car with us so we could hear neighboring jurisdictions while out on patrol. Well I was transferred and wanted to pick up my own scanner, I was advised to get the Uniden BCD996P2 since it is the newer updated version of the XT. I've been having all sorts of issues with it, and my partner has been having all sorts of issues with his as well since we switched the MARCS system.
My main issue is that I only ever pick up one neighboring jurisdiction, and that happens to be one down in Kentucky. I've uploaded everything directly from RadioReference, thanks to a premium account, and my Scanner shows switching back and forth between jurisdiction on the top (Basically County Displays then City Displays, etc) and also the SO and GRP numbers flash but I never hear any radio chatter.
Does anyone know a simple, easy, step by step, almost idiot proof way, to program this so I can hear anything? (Trust me the volume is turned up, and I have experimented moving the squelch around between 0,1, and 2).
