What system are you trying monitor and what area? That means everything I may be able to help you if yo give that info.. Also do you have the programing cable if so let me know.. When asking such a question you need to give your location and what you want to monitor.

Do you have the programing cable? If so I will make a data file to upload to your scannerCT State Police, Waterford Public Safety, and New London PD and Fire
I do have the cable. I also have a duplicate scanner which is working fine.
CSP and Waterford are digital systems

yes, i know
but it seems the headphone jack stays open and "mutes" the radio.
my 396t has done it hundreds of times and the 396xt about a dozen.
i used to poke the inside of the jack with a toothpick but just putting the plug in and out can do it.

It would seem that it is not properly scanning as he originally posted. If it is not stopping on active frequencies, it is not a volume (or headphone) problem, but an electrical or programming problem.
Doing a factory reset was not bad advice (although I would have suggested reprogramming first or at least mentioned that it would delete everything).
However, to have multiple systems stop working at once makes me think antenna/reception problem first. I would try a known strong channel like the local NOAA weather channel or a FM Broadcast Band Service Search.
Good luck,
chris

Rats. I have a newer computer which does not accommodate the Uniden cable. I'll have to purchase an adapter. Otherwise I'll have to do it all manually.extract this zip file and load the .996 into freescan and upload to scanner. I modified some of the settings for optimal.. Let me know if it works.
ok...I've uploaded the CT system. Just like before it is scanning ID Search but picks up on nothing. Just scanning continuously? Any thoughts?
