Can't I just listen to what I want?
25 years ago scanning was a favorite hobby of mine. Then as the systems began changing over to trunking frequencies, I lost interest. Now, after all these years, I've decided to purchase a new scanner so I got the BCD436HP. I had no idea that it would be so difficult to learn. I bought the ARC536Basic software thinking it would be easier to use than the pre-installed software and the subscription to RadioReference.com. I still can't figure out how to hear specific Talk Groups and scan though only certain frequencies that I want. For instance, I can hear LSU Police when I'm scanning the entire LWIN database, but if I want to listen to only LSU Police, I can't. I tried making a favorites list and adding just the info for LSU Police but then when I select it to scan the screen shows scanning ID's but it doesn't pick up anything. I must be doing something wrong. Does anyone know why
Below is the latest info for LSU. Thank you
