Is that allowed? It's scanner-related.
So, this past weekend my unit at work moved from the 3rd floor of a 3 floor building on the Salt River-Pima-Maricopa reservation to the 1st floor of a 2 story building with 3 floors of subterranian parking in Scottsdale. When I left work on Friday, my BCD436 was picking up...eh...90% of what I want to listen to. It wasn't getting BLM or Tonto NF, but I didn't toally expect it to because our building was bad for reception on a lot of things.
Today is day 1 at the "new" building (it's our main building and we were moved back to it) and all I'm picking up is MCSO and DPS with any regularity. I have picked up Rural/Metro twice, Phoenix FD on RWC twice, Scottsdale PD once and Glendale PD once. I have yet to hear any Phoenix PD and very little Phoenix FD plus no Tempe PD. Since I've picked up Phoenix FD on RWC I know it's "working". The times the scanner isn't stopping on DPS or MCSO, it's just scanning...scanning...scanning. I haven't changed any programming or anything on it recently so I'm pretty sure I didn't make RWC "go deaf". I'm pretty sure it's just a matter of being patient, but I'm getting tired of listening to those two agencies. Phoenix FD is starting to come up a little more often. I tried adjusting the squelch, but since the 436 doesn't make the static-y noise like my pro-106, I don't know if I should adjust it "up" (higher numbers) or "down" (lower). It was at 5 on Friday and now I have it on 7.
Anyway, I just wanted to whine about not being able to hear stuff right now.
