Frederick County Fire - BCD325P2

He sent me his programming - the Global ATT was not enabled. It looked good as far as I could tell.

Do you have the Global Attenuator on? It's located in ProScan General Settings tab.
Like in doctordialtone post#4.

Okay, thank you for this -- Yes, I was unable to figure out how to turn it off.

I've got it off now, let me try some things and utilize the post above's database

If making changes in the scanner then you want to download the database and config to ProScan so things will appear in sync.
Likewise if you make changes to the ProScan database and config, you want to upload to the scanner so everything will be in sync.

Give this file a try. Simulcast site is on system quick key 1. Brunswick site is on system quick key 2. It includes the Frederick Co sheriff. Turn off group quick key 0 to disable that. Open the file with ProScan and upload to your scanner.

Nice one!

This actually puts me in the direction I need.

Beautiful layout, I must say!

I just dropped the Sheriff and am really good to go from there, as long as it works.

Now a question for users of this scanner. Between the 2 unidens I've ever owned, I have never been able to keep a good battery charge, because its kept plugged in all the time. It seems that this is causing the batteries to "wear out" or something, I am not sure.

Is there any set of batteries that are meant for this?

Right now, its just got 2 AA-Rechargeables, but it doesn't charge, not even when pressing Yes, when turned off.

Yes, sir.

I am ONLY making changes in ProScan.

Thank you for helping!

Also, @ProScan when its plugged into my computer, it connects, and can see it on the virtual controller thing (or whatever) but no audio comes through at all. However, when plugging it in a regular power port, it works fine now.

Is it a whole different ball game to be able to hook it up and hear it through my computer speakers/headset?

Do you have an audio cable hooked up from the scanner to the computer?

To hear audio out of the computer speakers, here are the very basic steps.
1. Go to the Audio Control tab.
2. Select either Recorder, Source Client, Web Server, or RSOIP. You don't actually need to use any of those services.
3. Select the Input Sound Device.
4. Go to the Monitor & Test tab under the Audio Control tab.
5. Select the same audio service in step 2.
6. Check the Loopback box.

Ah, my apologies, didn't realize you had to have an audio cable as well. Thought the USB would do it all.

Thank you

So, is it working now? Don't keep us in suspense!

Yes -- It is indeed working!

A little choppy, will have to find the right spot for it, but yep back in business!

Thank you ALL so much for your help!!!!!!!!!

Stay Well All!

Glad you got it working. You'll need to find a sweet spot for it to live - unless you want to deep dive into SDRs and Linux, lol.

You may notice that the digital AGC is turned off. The AGC action can increase garbled audio problems with simulcast systems.
