Greetings,
I recently purchased the new BCD436HP to replace my old BC796D. I did not realize that there had been a re-banding of frequencies in my area. I found that out here on RR.com so I really appreciate that! I have updated the frequencies on the old BC796D and it seems to follow the Wake County system fairly well.
However, I seem to be having some trouble getting everything to work right with the 436HP. I have created Favorites Lists for all the agencies I wanted to separate out using the included software. Because Wake County is a unique system, I have reduced the sites to the WCS Raleigh site and the back-up Fuquay-Varina site. I work in public safety here and know the amount of radio traffic that is handled in Wake County. I just do not seem to be receiving the radio traffic on the 436HP as I should. Earlier today, I set the old BC796D beside the 436HP using the same type of antenna and the BC796D was picking up everything where the 436HP was only picking up a few transmissions.
I programmed my 436HP using the Sentinel Software and made no changes other than reducing sites (to my local sites) and a few alert / light assignments. I did not change anything else. Can you guys on the forum send me any thoughts or suggestions as to what I can do?
Thanks in advance!
