What special trick(s) do I need to perform to get the NJICS database to work in my SDS200 and 996P2? I remember receiving an error message saying something about a limit to how many talkgroups or something along those lines. Is it even worth it to get it working properly since I just moved to...

Just saw 65101 and 5510 (any idea which TG this one is?)

Sunday night around 1945hrs I actually pulled over at the Stowe exit of 422 to listen to Chester County on my 996P2 that I have in my vehicle. Listened for about 15 minutes and heard absolutely nothing except a couple of fire/ems dispatches on the one VHF frequency. I have a 996P2 that I...

What you mean by that do you mean the scanner feed What I mean is on my personal scanner. I am not picking up anything on the 800mhz system. I have full reception (think bars) for the East/Central frequencies. I only hear the VHF dispatch frequencies for fire/ambulance.

I'm listening to Chester County on my scanner and I'm not hearing a damn thing on the 800mhz system, nana, nothing. Nothing on the East/Central system. Did they take the law enforcement offline?

Is it me or has the new system have limited range outside the county? I travel to Reading and West Chester from the Gilbertsville area for work and cannot pick them up halfway to either location. The vhf dispatch frequency comes in clear as day but not the 800mhz system.

Ok, maybe you didn't read what I posted. I stated everything with my 996P2 worked up to about a month or so ago. I've never had any issues with picking up Chester County, especially mobile as I travel to West Chester a few times a week and listen on the mobile setup. My question is has anything...

I have 2 BCD996P2 receivers, one at home and one in the SUV. The one at home has a discone antenna up at 50feet and the mobile has a high gain mobile antenna. Has there been a change with the Chester County P25 system over the past month or two? I can't receive it at all on either receiver. I...

Well so much for transparency in government. Motorola must be really pushing encryption on everyone or is it the "terrorist/criminal" excuse? The largest criminal/terrorist group here in the U.S. is the government. I guess its for their safety. Like I told a police officer the other day, I'm...

P25 Upgrades With the new system soon to be active I've noticed that here on RR the database doesn't include the police talkgroups. Is this by design? Are we no longer going to be able to monitor police radio? Any eta on when the system will be active?

Whats up with MontCO? SInce I now have a patient in Trooper I unlocked PD4 to monitor. Been at least 2 weeks and I haven't heard anything on the East System. I had PD7 also unlocked. Has the eastern part of the county switched over to the new system? Just wondering because I can monitor Lower...

Radio Reference Database I am using the Proscan software to provide programming and streaming feed. The import function of the software allows you to connect to the Radio Reference database to import the various systems. Using this function the RR database is showing 2 Montgomery County...

Server Error Codes On the remote over IP I keep on seeing various error codes. What are the various error codes and what are the procedures to fix them? Most of the time I see people attempting to connect only to get booted after a second or two. I am using the 12.3 version to stream.

There are laws in some areas prohibiting scanners/receivers. These have been in effect for a long, long time, way before the current climate in this country. With the advent of amateur vhf/uhf radios that also receive out-of-band transmissions, these are not classified as scanners. Many amateur...

Berks 700mhz Ok folks I'm interested to hear from all who use this scanner to listen to the Berks 700mhz system. I've finally been able to pick it up with the help of a 700/800mkz yagi antenna. After listening to the system for about 2 months and constantly playing around with various settings...

Its called shear ignorance. To them Sent from my GT-P5210 using Tapatalk

Sounds like this has been going on for some time. I suggest everyone that hears this make note of the date, time, and channel/frequency. Those of you that do, send the notation to Mr. Gottschall. Mr. Gottschall you notify the FCC enforcement bureau. Thats the only way they'll learn. Sent from...

Sounds like an interesting article. One would think that the company contracted to install this system would have the experience with dealing in 700mhz systems. The boardering tower sites really shouldn't have directional antennas. There are ambulance/fire units that go out of county on mutual...

Its not the radio that counts, its the antenna. Have a lousy antenna and you might not make it out of your neighborhood. In the radio community its always the antenna and "the higher the better". But as with most UHF systems they're are line of sight, even with repeaters. 700mhz signal wont...

I have the police talkgroups locked out. The transmissions I've heard sound over-driven. Once in a while I hear a garbled transmission but you have to remember its a digital system. All or nothing with digital, just like with TV. If all of us are having all these problems, how are things with...
