I have a BCD996P2 and am using Butel to program it and live in Sioux Falls. After putting all the Minnehaha County and Sioux Falls info into the scanner I am not getting anything. I am wondering if there is some other setting that needs to be done in the scanner? Any help would be appreciated.

Are you programming for the new P25 digital system? If not then do that. Secondly, you won't hear law enforcement because they've encrypted. You'll only get fire and EMS, though they may eventually encrypt too.

Sioux Falls simulcast is a bit tricky with that scanner. Very doable if in the right spot. But it’s all about your location. Might have better luck forcing the scanner to connect to the Wall Lake tower instead.

0 can cause problems on a trunking system, they are hard to notice.
but even a great Guru on here recommended 2 because of that.
with an old 396T if i got close to a cell phone, i got random trunkgroups that did not exist on my system.
now,
HOLD should be on 0
DELAY should be on 2
they are two different things.
