Hello everyone,
I'm helping my dad replace an old Uniden scanner which has recently stopped working. He programmed the old Uniden about 20 years ago but this one is a little more complicated, I got him a Uniden BCD996P2 but have not yet purchased the DMR addition.
I used ProScan (and FreeScan) to pull the stations for my parents house in Wood County, Ohio. From looking at the Radio Reference page for Wood County, many of the stations are listed as FMN, but sound scrambled (there is one that is occasional beeping). The scanner scans through the stations but only ever stops on a select few, (although there should be communication on many of them even if it's scrambled). For example, it never stops at North Baltimore Police - Local.
I'm surprised that I'm not hearing any voices through any of the channels where there used to be a lot of communication. Could the Radio Reference database be out of date or am I overlooking something else?
