I have my BCT15X programmed with the Old Bridge trunked system as detailed in the database but several days a week I hear absolutely nothing. The rest of the time I hear all the police, FD and EMS chatter just fine. It's all or none and I can't figure out why. Can anyone help me troubleshoot what the problem is?

If you have the 4 CC's programmed in, maybe they changed one of the CC's and they are alternating channels, try adding the other 3 freq's in and see if that is the case.

Have you updated your scanner [firmware] or programmed them for ReBanded channels?

One or more sites for this trunking system have gone through the 800 MHz rebanding process. Your scanner may be incompatible, require a firmware update or require special programming to track these sites. Please visit the RR Wiki Rebanding page for additional information.

All of the frequencies used by Old Bridge are between 851-853, so the unit does not require a custom band plan to be able to follow the system.
