Seem to hear a lot of activity on the RR Live audio feed for Chatham Kent Fire and EMS but I don't seem to be getting and EMS on my radio. I've uploaded to my BCD996XT with Freescan and RR account the Bell Fleetnet System and getting lots of OPP action. I get Windsor MOH along with CCAC but not the CK calls. I've also got the Thames EDACS system and CK conventional systems uploaded as well. They both are picking up Chatham police and Fire activity. Is there another system I need for the Chatham EMS?

Nope, Chatham EMS is on the Fleetnet system. Make sure you've got the talkgroups for Wallaceburg CACC programmed in as that's what CK uses.

I guess also make sure you have the Doyles site programmed in properly and ensure that's the site you're listening to. It is possible that you wouldn't hear traffic if the WAL C/K group wasn't being send over the Doyles tower, but given the area, that really isn't likely.

Given your location you might also want to throw in the Windsor CACC talkgroups as you're close to the border of Wallaceburg and Windsor CACC.

That's what I found strange. I have been getting MOH Windsor all along but until now not the Chatham kent. Must have been the Doyle system that I did not have. Something I did notice tonight is that some of my Cnv systems were not scanning. I've been programming with Freescan and I assigned 17 quick keys to 17 systems but for some reason only 0 thru 9 are scanning. After figuring that out I removed all the quick keys and now all are scanning. Can I not go as high as 99 systems? If so is there a setting to get them to all scan?

If you enable a Start up key, in the System Options, you can do so.

With any number 11 or above, have Start up key as . (decimal point, period..etc) then have your Quick Key for what ever number you assign.

One thing though, on the radio itself you will have to push the . then the number (.11) to enable that system.

If you don't you will enable, then disable system 1,if you forget the decimal.
