Digital Settings for BC250D

[Steve]

I needed a little help. I am getting a BC250D with the card and I need the following information. What are the digital settings for the Calhoun Co/CSEPP trunk system and the new Birmingham City trunk system. I figure each 250D will vary on the settings. I just need a starting point so I can adjust my 250D.

Thanks

Worrying about the digital settings is premature if you haven't got the scanner yet. The default settings work in most situations. Even if you do need to adjust, one persons adjustments may not suit your needs.

I have a 785 with the digital card. As joey said, there really is nothing to adjust now. ATF here is using P25 (digital) and when I first heard then, the voice sounded robotic and would clip. I don't have my 250D manual nearby but when you receive a P25 signal, it will display an adjustment menu on the screen so you can "tune" the digital card to zero in on the demodulation. Unfortunately, this can only be done while it's receiving the signal. Once it's set, you won't need to fool with it.

Hope this helps!
