I got it. If you import everything from Radio Reference it is all correct. I put my BCD996P2 in my car and got state police right down the road. Got nothing from my house. I found out that the antenna at the Troop closest to my house was highly directional (I have a friend that works for communications). I got a better antenna and put that on my roof and am now getting everything perfectly. The new system just has coverage problems that will require hardware correction to overcome. Also: Thank you DoctorDialTone. Your upload matched what I created in freescan exactly so I knew that it was a hardware issue and that’s how I figured all this out.

Great news!
Just curious - what type of antenna did you get and where did you get it?
Boston 2
Tampa Bay 2
Did you do the new up grade version 1.08.01

That doesn't explain why the RR version of the database does not work at home for me on the 325p2 or sds100 but the custom list that is on the sds100 does work from home. If it was a hardware issue then would it not make sense that neither system would work from that location on that unit?
I cant duplicate the custom favorites list that was given to me for my sds100 on the bcd325p2 because of the difference in software between those 2 scanners.
I'm using a Tram 1411 Discone (Amazon.com: Tram 1411 Broad Band Discone/Scanner Base Antenna: Cell Phones & Accessories) using 50ft of RG-11 Coax (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BGTWHXZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1) mounted on my house (2 story) via a 4 ft mast (just enough clearance for the antenna, it's almost touching the roof). Can almost pick up WW (lots of static and showing 1 bar on the scanner) from Clinton.

Good to hear.
That's about the exact setup I have except I have a 15 year old Radio Shack Discone on 10 ft mast on the 2nd floor chimney.
New TGID on CT Police CLMRN. I just started getting TGID # 8501 and 8502 as of this weekend and 8502 has the most hits. I did hear them say new equipment test. I do hear them more towards evening. I just can't pinpoint what department. I also get TGID # 1365, 1591 and 5651. I get all transmissions out of Windham county tower.
Thank you,
Thank you,

TG 1591 is CSPAN
Thanks for the CSPAN as it was not added in my CLMRN favorite.
FYI, no C in SPAN

8501 and 8502 is busy tonight. Sounds like DFEBS. Same type of lingo and call signs that I would hear on the old system. Both in TDMA mode. I believe there was some kind of incident in Coventry.

Non related question. I heard that efJohnson makes a portable that works with the state police system. Any truth.

Yes, that is true
The CLMRN has Motorola, EF Johnson, Harris, Kenwood and BK radios all on the system currently
