Hello everyone, for the past 2 days I have been trying to program and troubleshooted this issue extensively.
I don't know if I've found a system bug or my radio is playing tricks on me. I'm in South Jersey and currently my other radios are mainly set to monitor Cumberland County, City of Millville and Vineland. So, the minute my new BCD536HP arrived I dedicated my BCD996XT to monitor NJ State Police and proceeded to program the 536.
Everything worked fine until I decided to add City of Vineland Trunked Motorola system to my favorites. No matter what I tried the radio would not scan that system. I double and triple checked everything and looked for obvious errors, read the manual few times, updated the firmware and still could not get it to work. The radio simply displayed "nothing to scan". Manual frequencies and every other system worked fine and the radio performed flawlessly during those scans.
Upon further investigation, I tried listening to Vineland from the main database using zip code and the same symptoms appeared. Vineland was totally ignored and upon locking out systems one by one, it showed nothing was being scanned again.
So I have added Vineland manually by creating new favorites list and voila, Vineland is scanning and working as advertised. I don't know if it's just my radio or it's a database bug that everyone can easily replicate.
Anyway, I thought I post this here and please be easy on me if I'm doing something wrong as I'm a newly registered member even though I have been coming here for years.
Thank you.
