Attempting to listen to Middletown with a BCD996P2. From Burlington i pick up Wallingford and Meriden pretty clear. Copied Middletown's feed from radiorefernce on free scan but says its still searching for control channels after i put in the APCO band....any suggestions?

I am in Middletown .
PD is encrypted so all you'll hear is Public Works and Fire.
If you can't receive the control channel , you won't hear anything.
The active control channel is 859.5125

Ah, thank you I'm only trying to listen to fire talkgroups but i might just be too far. New Britain did the same thing then all of sudden started coming in clear.

There's two fire calls in progress now. South District.
21 miles from Burlington to Middletown on a straight line, I believe the range is 19 miles...so that's why I cant hear it
The range doesn't work that accurately but you are still a long way for consistent reception. I receive the control channel from Granby clear enough to run DSDPlus but cannot monitor the voice, not quite enough power to get a decent signal through.
Lots of hills and hollows, depends where you monitor from.

Is 155.3700 still in use?
no but the old repeater is till on the air and it has been keying up
Ya why is that?
You should be able to hear them on clrm as they are hooked into it. I hear them on other than there own system. It’s a 65xxxx talk group.

You can monitor the Fire on the trunked system with the proper scanner if you are in range..
Police is encrypted.
Are we done here?
Yes.Then I think that if the VHF channel can no longer be heard I think it should be taken out of the database

Then submit it to be removed. We don’t need to do everything for you
somebody told me that they submitted it that’s why I was asking about this channel But I will request it as well as that other person this conversation is done
If the VHF Repeater is in place as a backup to the trunk, the entry in the DB will remain. If the VHF equipment has been removed, repeater and all other radios, then it will be tagged depreciated and auto purged. I'll double check that the naming field is correct.
the old VHF is still up as a backup.
Thank You.
Then it won't be removed from the database. Are the other VHF channels also still setup as a backup or only the old primary repeater?.
