BCD436HP/BCD536HP: BCD 536

[joekehoe]

I have programmed Plymouth PD, Kingston PD and Marshfield PD all in Massachusetts in the scanner. When it is in scanning mode the PD’s don’t stop for transmissions . However when in manual mode, they come in without any problems. Any thoughts about the digital channels when scanning.

Check the service types.

 

[joekehoe]

I have done that.

 

[tvengr]

Make sure they are not avoided.

Check your squelch settings as well. When I had a 536, I found that anything more than a 2-3 worked as an attenuator.

If they're on a trunked system, check to make sure you're not avoiding all sites. Another thing to check are each agencies' P25 NAC settings... They may not necessarily be using a NAC of 270, so you might want to set NAC to "search".... Worked for me here in Northwestern California...

I wouldn't suspect service types due to the fact that law dispatch is enabled by default (unless OP intentionally turned it off). Law tac is not enabled by default and should be turned on to monitor the frequencies tagged as such
@joekehoe, zip up your Sentinel .hpe export and post it as an attachment so we can have a look at your programming. Directions here

If they're on a trunked system, check to make sure you're not avoiding all sites.

Looking at the RRDB, they're conventional P25

 

[garys]

Correct. UHF or UHF-T. Those are all in pretty close to proximity to each other, so he should be able to hear them.

Jokehoe might get better information in the MA forum area. There are several people on this forum who live in that area.

Looking at the RRDB, they're conventional P25

Plymouth digital freq looks like it’s simulcast and that scanner may have issues. How do you have them programmed in, conventional or P25 one freq?

Op stated freqs work without issue when on channel gold
