Hey all,
I've learned quite a bit programming trunking scanners and how they work. But this one is an oldie but a goodie.
I have a Uniden BC80XLT that I need to program in: Police, Fire, and Emergency for both Hawkins Co, and Sullivan So Tennessee.
The frequencies I input in the scanner are:
Sullivan:
155.640
160.155
154.430
155.280
151.130
159.735
155.700
154.800
856.4875
857.4875
858.4875
859.4875
Hawkins:
155.670
154.415
155.385
154.115
156.240
155.265
Now, with the trunking scanners, I would program in the main 800mhz frequencies (the ones in red and blue in the motorola type 2 system) and then all the system ids, except locking out system id 33552 (sanitation).
This oldie isn't a trunking scanner, so I'm assuming I am manually programming in all the frequencies that would be automatically found in a trunking system.
I guess my main question is, are these the right frequencies to put into this old scanner, instead of the motorola type 2 frequencies? Sullivan County has the motorola system, where Hawkins County does not.
Now, some things in Hawkins county are about 30-60 miles away from me, and I'm not getting a lot of chatter over the scanner. On my trunking scanner, I get tons of chatter programming in the Sullivan County motorola type 2 frequencies. Why am I not getting much now?
