After a 20 year hiatus, I'm revisiting the scanner hobby. I live and scan within the city limits of Seattle.
I have a BCD436HP.
For the first few days, I just listened to everything picked up by zip code.
Today I decided to set a goal of configuring the scanner to only pick up Seattle Police Department radio chatter.
I installed and updated both Sentinel and the scanner.
I then created a profile I call "SPD."
I removed everything from the favorites list except Seattle Police, Capitol Hill (Seattle backup) and Seattle Simulcast.
I wrote this configuration to the scanner.
This configuration picks up all SPD talk groups.
However, it also locks onto - what the scanner reports as - "unknown talk groups;" Bothell Police Dispatch, for example.
I suspect somewhere along the way, I made a mistake.
Might someone help me figure out how to use Sentinel to configure my scanner to only pick up SPD traffic?
Thanks in advance!
