Is it my PSR-800 Scanner that's got a problem or is Addison County very quiet this past week or so?
I don't hear any VSP, Sheriff etc. Any ideas?

No idea, maybe just decreased activity when you are monitoring, perhaps?

I have heard a couple fire toneouts as well as routine VSP New Haven activity every day, not much of a change for me...of course I am to the north a bit.

After today's weather, you must have heard something on your scanner for Addison County?
It was just plain treacherous driving for most of the day and Addison County was right in the middle of this nasty weather.

Weather & quiet

I was in Chittenden County where the weather was sort of bad but too.
When I have it turned on at home, in Addison County, it's totally quiet. The Pro-97 picks up just fine.
I am suspecting that it's one of two things.
The antenna developed an open or the scanner shows that it's scanning but it really isn't.
I am going to wipe the mini SD, reformat and re-load.
What's weird is that Chittenden County worked fine, in my car on the external antenna.
I will report back what I find.

Addison County is far from quiet. Tons of traffic on 155.715, 155.415, 460.275, etc.. yesterday.
