I have purchased a new BC796D scanner but am having a hard time programming it to pick up my local State Police. I’m in District 7, I know my tower numbers of 406 and 411. I see the DEC ID Codes/Numbers that seem to be for my target groups, and I have found the frequencies that should also correspond with my target groups. I replaced the stock antenna but for some reason I cannot seem to pick up my talk groups. I have confirmed with the Tech people that my scanner is working properly. They tell me that I just need to get the correct programming data.

Is there anyone out there that has this model of scanner that can offer assistance? That possibly can tell me what I might be doing wrong?

Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Are you getting a signal on the control channel you are using? Also make sure that you have the trunk system settings correct. They should be set to Motorola-Type2- 800MHz and you should be using plan 2.
