    Cleveland County P25 with RS Pro-2096

    Up until maybe 6 months ago my pro-2096 picked up the Cleveland County/Shelby P25 system great, however, it stopped working (only receiving between 0-14 percent) and I thought there was something wrong with my scanner.

    Pro-2096 Squelch Stopped Working

    The squelch stopped working on the conventional, non-trunking frequencies on my Pro-2096. The squelch opens and closes randomly when there's no signal, or will open on a signal but not close when the signal ceases. The squelch knob has no effect either way I'm pretty sure I'll be sending it...

    I'm looking at ARMER sites in Benton county. The latest map shows sites at Gilman, Duelm, and Blue Wing. Only one of these, Gilman, appears to be in the RadioReference database. Is the database behind? I'm trying to update my PRO-2096 and can't seem to find the sites to go with the talkgroups...
