BCD325P2 can’t hear CSP

[grafx85]

I am unable to pickup CT State Police suddenly on my BCD325P2. I know they use Connecticut Land Mobile Radio Network (CLMRN). I’ve erased everything on my scanner including settings and uploaded back onto my scanner using ProScan. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong? They are on Project 25 Phase II and I’ve picked them up before with this scanner

Are you getting any signal bars

You probably moved it a few inches from its "sweet spot"

I'm guessing you didn’t save your programming to PROSCAN? In any event, it’s probably a simple fix in your programming, a missed setting. I have CLMRN running on my 396P2 and if no one suggests a fix I can compare settings with you but I’m sure it won’t come to that. It’s my guess you missed a setting-something I do all the time but I usually find it myself after I leave it for a day and then retry.

They haven't changed anything.

I receive them fine on my 325P2.

I would re-enter the programming.

Also, if you are using Quick Keys, make sure they are enabled.

Good luck.
