I am a newbie and wasn't sure if I should post here, or in the RS forum for 2096 help.
I need help with scanning in Bucks County. I have had plenty of fun with a PRO-51, but now I am using a Pro-2096 and am out of my league.
When I scan, none of the trunked frequencies are getting hits. I am pretty sure it isn't an antenna problem, because fire dispatch and conventional frequenices do get hits, and read well. I downloaded and installed an original p96 file, (that had frequencies or PA, and MD, etc), I was getting traffic from as far away as Baltimore, MD.
I've got the firmware updated to v1.4. I have initialized the scanner to clear all memory, and used Win96 to download frequencies from radioreference for Bucks, conventional and trunked.
Still, no trunked frequencies from Bucks getting thru.
I do get an occasional hit on an Project 25 (PECO - a Philadelphia frequency), the voice channel comes over as being pixellated. It is in the 856 Mhz range. Should I be using a custom table for rebanding, here?
What am I doing wrong, and what can I do to make this right so I can monitor trunked frequencies?
