MARCS on bc996t vs bc996xt

[mike6pmnews]

I just uploaded identical databases from RR to my bc996 and bc996xt. I am hearing the MARCS frequencies on the XT but not to 996. Am I doing something wrong, or is the 996 not capable of picking up MARCS?

I get both MARCS & MARCS-IP on my 996T with no issues.

With Old MARCS (800 Mhz) make sure your custom tables for rebanding are correct.

Sometimes I have problems with my BCD996T locking in on 800HMz MARCS talkgroups. Usually it works fine, but occasionally I see a talkgroup name flash by during a scan without stopping on the group. I don't have this issue with my BCD396XT. The MARCS tower I monitor is line-of-sight from here.

Custom Tables?

With Old MARCS (800 Mhz) make sure your custom tables for rebanding are correct.

Wouldn't the custom tables for rebanding be included when I downloaded the info from Radio Reference?
Or do i need to get the book "Custom tables for rebanding for Dummies"?

Make sure your firmware is current. If not it will not track rebanded frequencies correctly.

Ohio MARCS 800 mHz tables should look like the following.

I still must be doing something wrong

Here is a screen capture of my bcd996t. I am trying to at least hear the local Ohio Highway Patrol on Marcs. Can anyone tell me what settings are wrong?
