Good morning All,
After about a year of owning my BC-996xt, I have been enjoying listening to the VSP. However, about a month ago I stopped hearing them? At first I thought that Salem had had a hiccup with the new system, but I still hadn't heard them for a long while now. I downloaded the new fils for VA-STARS, and put it into the scanner and still nothing. So OK, I did something wrong with a function on the scanner and last night did a reset, then reloaded the STARS file. Still no go. I'm stumped here guys and gals so any help would be appreciated to say the least.
I have no problems with hearing Roanoke, Montgomery, and Floyd Counties so it's not the antenna. I live in Floyd County and Salem is the local SPD district, but I do listen to Wytheville and anywhere else I can. I have an external antenna at about 48 feet above the local ground lever, I guess it's about 2700 feet ASL.
Last night I got very frustrated and after doing a search here, the only thing suggested was to put in just the one location I wish to hear to start. So, I installed (again) just the Fort Lewis Mountain site and the VASPD. Still I'm not hearing them.
Oh, I also have the latest updates installed on the scanner.
Many thinks for any help or even suggestions.
