I am in Denver, CO, and picked up a Uniden BC125AT. I programmed in a few BNSF frequencies, but hardly hear anything. It's hard to believe that there is so little radio traffic.
I turned the squelch so that it is one position above constant noise.
A few questions:
Can CTSSS/OCS be set to auto for each channel? I don't know what should be entered there.
Do the alpha tags have to be entered exactly the same as listed on the web sites that list the frequencies, or can I make up my own?
Finally, I see that there are several railroad operations that share the same frequencies. As long as the frequency has been entered into the device will it pick up everything that uses that frequency?
Thanks.
