Cranston PD

[frankie811]

I recently purchased a Uniden BCD260DN (yes I knew it was an analog scanner) & I began programming it for Cranston, Warwick, Cumberland PD & Bristol County public service departments. I also have a BCD996P2 & I noticed that on both units I cannot receive Cranston PD. It appears to be encrypted. Is this correct? I'm almost sure that I heard them recently on their 482 Mhz band in the clear. I love the SVC search function on this unit & I'm somewhat surprised at the high price tag for an analog model ($340).

Cranston PD are listed as P25 conventional, unencrypted. You won't be able to pick them up with a 260DN but should be able to get them on the 996p2

482.4125	485.4125	KXN403	RM	DEF NAC	Cranston PD	Police Operations F1	P25	Law Dispatch
482.4625	485.4625	KXN403	RM	DEF NAC	Cranston PD2	Police F2	P25	Law Tac
482.5625	485.5625	KXN403	RM	DEF NAC	Cranston PD3	Police F3	P25	Law Talk
483.6375		KXN403	M	DEF NAC	Cranston PD4	Police Car-to-Car	P25	Law Talk

Though they appear to be simulcast across two sites so simulcast distortion may be a factor if you're within range of both towers

When they first switched to the 482 band I used to pick them up on the old tuneable TV's around UHF CH 13-14.

Cranston is 100% in the clear. Picking them up as we speak.

I'm not, on either scanner.

I re-programmed my 996P2 & I'm now receiving Cranston PD. I don't know what I did wrong, but this unit has given me some problems over the past two years. I think it's possessed.

TV 16 would be the 482 band
