Let's start simple:
If you put it into Wx mode, can you hear NOAA?
If you put the 22 suffolk trunk systems frequencies into the radio as conventional, can you hear anything?
If the above is no for both - do you have your squelch set too high? Do you have an antenna?
Let's start off simple and see if the scanner can at least receive anything.
I program the SCPD band with to the following:
Forums / Long Island - Suffolk / Suffolk County Reband - Final - W2LIE.net | Monitor Long Island, Inc.
and when on hold still says finding contrl channel
The note below says to program offset range -1024 to +1024
where do i do that?
its also says to load rebanded standard 800 splinter 800
also where?
Ignore all this, you are looking from data from 2010 when the system was in the process of being rebanded. Backstory - the county realized that not all radios were working properly, so they had to run a custom setup until the entire fleet could be rebanded.
The new and correct tables are located on the Suffolk County Trunk Radio page inside the RRDB.
