Hello, My name is Alex and this is my first post on this website. I am relatively new to digital scanning, but have spent hours upon hours of research, tinkering, and trying to find someone with the same problem all over the forums, but to no avail.
I currently reside in El Paso, Texas and purchased a BCD996XT scanner for my truck off of Amazon. I am not receiving ANYTHING while it ID searches.
I have read the Easier to Read manual.
I used FreeScan and got the El Paso Project 25 Regional Communications System load for the radio.
I gave them quick keys for everything and loaded it into the radio using the USB-1 cable and it loaded successfully.
It will search, but nothing ever comes over the scanner.
My squelch is set at 3.
I tried two antennas and I even opened up the unit to look and make the sure connection was good inside the radio itself where the antenna connects and it is well soldered and connected.
(used the stock antenna and a windshield suction cup antenna.)
I even tried conventional with sheriff frequencies, but nothing comes through.
I am at a total loss and have looked EVERYWHERE for a solution, but cannot find one...
I am hoping someone could help me out with this issue. Please be patient with me!
Thank you!
