for reasons unknown, my beloved BCT8 has suddenly stopped scanning my programmed groups. i have two banks configured with Motorola Type 2 trunking with Control Channel Plan 1 for our local city police/fire. it was working great up until a couple of weeks ago when a buddy of mine accidentally bumped the scanner.
i have reset the scanner with powering off/powering on while holding state-2-9, and successfully wiped out the programming, then downloaded the configuration again to the scanner, but the ID groups refuse to work. i've tried manually programming/activating the ID groups, but they seem to already be there, the scanner just doesn't scan them. i've pushed the data using ARC 2.2, which is what i've always had success with.
do i just need to take this thing out to the back yard and beat it with an axe, or is there a fix? this thing has never been the most user friendly scanner out there, but once i got it working it worked for quite a while. super frustrating, any help would be most appreciated!
