I just moved from Safford to Mesa, and man, learning to program the radio systems down here is CRAZY compared to the ancient systems still used in SE AZ.
I'm using Freescan with my Uniden 996T and the little metal "off the back" extendable antenna, and am doing OK; I'm getting things figured out little by little, but had a question about the Mesa PD "system". I can pick up the Law Dispatch, FD, Municipal, etc., but the Law Tac ones just chirp and squeal.
Is this a function of something special with their radios? Shortcomings of my antenna? I can't do an exterior antenna here (love HOA's) but have one I can suction cup to the window on the way to see if it helps this as well as with other signal acquisition issues. Should I just lock them out or is there some setting I am overlooking to hear them?
Thanks.
More noob questions will be forthcoming, but only after I've exhausted my patience!
