RadioReference.com Forums
Just got this scanner and wanted to mostly listen to Washington State Patrol and Airlift on P25 Phase 2. I downloaded from RadioReference and after a few days haven't heard any activity. Obviously there's something I need to do but struggling to figure it out.
I live way out in the country and pick up non digital on my BCD996XT up to 50 miles away.
I use a discone with an SSB Electronic wide band preamp at the antenna, 60 feet of LMR 400 into a Stridesburg (active) Multicoupler so I'm confident the signal is getting to the radio. I can see full bars coming up on the signal strength meter while scanning.
I have it programmed for Stevens County, Washington.
The squelch is at about 2 and I'm logging with ARC XT PRO which is the software I used to program.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Neil
