Um, well, you need a scanner that provides that ability, mainly. That is, one that can decode CTCSS/DCS. It would seem you have one, if it's displaying the tones.

I'd say, let us know which scanner you're using, so we can look up setting tone squelch in the manual. Of course, you could do that, too.

Sounds like you have it set for tone search. Select ctts (or what ever its called with the model you have). I take it another dept is using 136.5 ? Perhaps your tone data is wrong if all you see is 136.5 and never see 179.9
Give us a little more info

Looking at Frank's past posts he has a 996, I haven't fiddled with mine for awhile but I'm sure someone will post his fix here soon. By the way the 460.600 136.5 PL you are hearing is Harford County Maryland's Dispatch.
