A hint! The police and fire are NOT on the same channel. Are you possibly listening to the old trunk system?
The police dept. operates on
453.76250 P25 with a NAC of 270.
The fire department operates
453.43750 (analog) with a tone of 141.3.
Program them both in and see what you hear. If you have the trunk system programmed in, lock that out.
The 396XT should work fine on those.
Oh, to check to see if the police is locked, out go into manual mode, find the where you have Marshfield PD programmed, and see if it's locked out,
The manual
Easier to Read BCD396XT Digital Scanner Manual should help you.
hanks for your help, but I do not know how to check the setting. I tried to look at Uniden scanner manual an I could not figure it out. I do not know how I could or lock out police when I get fire dept. on the same channel.The only time I touch the fung. button is to move the squelch witch is not offend. Have a HAPPY EASTER Bob
