I recently purchased and finally received my Uniden BCD436HP scanner and am attempting to set it up to monitor local police, fire and EMS frequencies.
One of the main areas I'm attempting to setup is Northeast Philadelphia PD.
Here's the same area on broadcastify, for reference: Philadelphia Police - Northeast Live Audio Feed
Looking at their "Feed notes", it states they are broadcasting with the Uniden BDC536HP scanner, which is effectively the same as mine for this particular topic.
What I am unable to figure out though is why I cannot pick up those same feeds on my own scanner.
I've tried the "simple setup" of entering my zip and allowing the scanner program select the database to use, as well as manually programming via the Sentinel software.
In the Sentinel software (up to date firmware and database), I went to the following:
USA > PA > Philadelphia > County Systems > Philadelphia (P25 Trunk) > Police Dept
I then added the following channels: "Far North-East Division (7th. and 8th. Districts)" and "North-East Division (2nd. and 15th. Districts)"
Adding these channels also added the following zone sites: "Broad St Subway Zone", "Zone 1" and "Zone 2".
As far as I can tell, these are all correct, and match the information listed on the broadcastify feed, which says: "Broadcasting the Northeast Philadelphia Police districts "2nd, 15th, 7th, 8th""
But, when setting my scanner to scan this favorites list, it never picks anything up, even though I'm pretty sure I have everything configured correctly.
Anyone have any ideas? I'd greatly appreciate your help.
