Hello,
I am a scanner hobbyist who put my scanner away when Ascension Parish went encrypted. I now live in Zachary, blew the dust off my scanner, and am trying to figure all of this out again. I think I'm close to getting what I want, which is to monitor Zachary PD and Fire, as well as EBRPSO in the Northern part of the parish because I am hearing occasional transmissions, but that's it, only one every few minutes, tops.
I'm not asking for anyone to waste a bunch of time "tutoring" me, as I plan eventually get back up to speed through my own through research and the forum stickys etc., I just want at least be able to listen to something as I get my feet wet again. When I quit, LATIE, LWIN now of course, was just getting going so I have a lot to catch up on. I'm just hoping that maybe someone can tell me what I am missing so I can at least hear something again. Thanks in advance to anyone that can assist me!
Here's what I have, and what I have done so far.
Uniden BCD396T Scanner.
I have set up a system , MOT P-25 and entered ALL of the LWIN freqs for the entire Baton Rouge Simulcast. (probably 100 different freqs including all control channels and alternates.)
I then set up the Talk Groups I want to listen to. (ex. Zachary PD 17373, EBRSO North Dispatch 17050)
What am I missing? Like I said, I get a transmission every 5 or 10 minutes but that's it. (and the calls I hear are between units, never dispatch)
Thanks again!!
Kevin
