Welcome back! I will work on a programming file for you.

 

[drodgers48]

thank you

 

[tvengr]

Here is the file. The trunked system (OKWIN Chickasha) is on system quick key 1. The conventional system (Grady Co Conv) is on system quick key 2. All of the groups also have quick keys. If you need any help using quick keys, let me know and I will attach a set of instructions. Save the attached zipped file to your computer and extract. Open the extracted file with FreeSCAN and Upload Programming. Select both systems. If you want to clear the scanner first, highlight Erase All Systems & Settings. Click on Start Upload.

[drodgers48]

[tvengr]

I downloaded and extracted the file I attached. It loaded into FreeSCAN without any problems. It should scan both files. You can toggle each system on and off by pressing 1 and 2 on the keypad. Here are the instructions again:

Open the extracted file with FreeSCAN and, under the Scanner tab, Upload Programming. Select both systems. If you want to clear the scanner first, highlight Erase All Systems & Settings. Click on Start Upload.

I extracted the FreeSCAN .996 programming file by right clicking on it in the Downloads folder of the File Explorer of Windows. Here is a PDF file which will answer all of your questions about using quick keys. You do not need to extract this file:

The file has everything for Grady Co. You can turn off the quick keys of the groups you do not wish to scan.

I think that should be WX warning.

In FreeSCAN, click on the Scanner drop down menu:

Select the Setup Scanner options

On the next menu that comes up, click on the WX Alert tab

Uncheck that box labeled "Weather Alert Priority". With that checked, the scanner periodically checks (every 4-5 seconds) for the alert tone on any NOAA weather radio station within range. With the box unchecked, that won't occur.

The boxes below that are for the SAME codes, for specific counties. In SAME mode, the scanner is parked on a weather radio channel, listening for alerts on the specific counties you select. The codes in the file are not for your area. Codes for counties in Oklahoma can be found here:

County Coverage

www.weather.gov

Once you clear that check box, if you reload the file to your scanner, that alert will no longer come up unexpectedly.

thank you for help, do you know why some of the people are coming in sounding over modualted to point of not understanding what they are saying

 

[u2brent]

Is it a Harris P25 system by any chance? They can be downright unintelligible with audio issues.

 

[drodgers48]

no it is a uniden BCD996xt , most people come in just fine but some are terrible

Not your radio, but the system your trying to monitor.
