can't seem to figure out why I hear nothing, new to programming this type scanner, so I probably have something programmed wrong.
Can anyone help?

Just program the control channels that you receive a signal on.Still I'm unsure about a couple things... Do all sites have to be programmed or can just the sites local around me be sufficient to hear
You should only program the nearest sites you, and if you can receive them maybe add the sites just beyond those. However, programming multiple sites on the system will slow your scanning speed to some extent, so I'd start with the ones closest to you, and/or the ones that get you the best reception.. You definitely don't want to program the sites that are not in range, like on STARNet. I see that there are nine sites for STARNet in Erie county, and two others for Crawford.. See which ones of those give you the best reception.Thank you for responding, this bit of info has helped, Still I'm unsure about a couple things... Do all sites have to be programmed or can just the sites local around me be sufficient to hear on the statewide Starnet system for my vicinity (Meadville)? And are the Statewide Starnet & Erie County Starnet systems considered "Standard P2" or "Single channel P2" since there are only two choices in the Arc XT software?
thank yo Steve, there are some settings in Freescan I'm not familiar with such as the tab for APCO settings. how is this pertinent to PA Starnet & Erie county Starnet?You should only program the nearest sites you, and if you can receive them maybe add the sites just beyond those.

For the Erie County system, if that interests you, I'd suggest programming programming the Countywide Simulcast.
As Doc's already noted, use Standard P2 for the sites (if you were using FreeSCAN, you'd use P25 Standard (Digital XT)).
You can email it to me, and I'll look it over. Or I could sent you one just for Erie.would it be possible for me to email you my Freescan file so you can look at my programmed systems and see if I have it wrong?
