How far from the NXDN site are you?

there is only one squelch setting and it on the whole radio. the setting for the squelch depends on how much signal the scanner will recieve, the higher the setting the less signal it gets and vice versa.

It's at the least without the radio being open squelch

what kind of antenna do you have and is it mounted outside above the roof.

Until you set up Quick Keys and enable them, you'll only be able to manually scroll through the frequencies.

Need help in programing a NXDN frequency into my scanner. I have a friend who has helped me program a frequency into the 996P2 put I am having problems of it stopping on the frequency and hearing it. The frequency just goes by and does not stop on the freq. and I know they are saying something as I can hear them on my phone. We have put everything in and it does not work, but if I stop it on that freq. you can hear them talk but hit scan and you do not hear them as they do not stop on their freq. Yes it is unlocked . Here is the info: Uniden BCD996P2 , I have all the upgrades in the scanner for all this to work When my friend's scanner goes to the freq. it works and we have done the same as we have the same scanner. It's a ambulance service in NXDN and it has a "RAN" number of 1.

Now I have it in with conventional freqs. will it work with them as the Ambulance services is a NXDN ?
Any help or what am I doing wrong. Iam a local Western New Yorker.
