Thanks to everyone for their patience with me in this forum first of all but also your pm ideas, help and files to try. I am happy to say I can finally hear again. Here is what I came up with as far as my problem and to answer some of peoples questions too. I live in Conshohocken and monitor the east only, fire/ems in one system and pd in another. I have a 396XT and now solely use freescan for computer programming. Here's whats changed mainly by recommendation. My system setup: 1) delay time was still set on 2, not 0. 2) the I-call was on and is now off. 3) the tape out was off but is now on all channels 4) the TGID group quick keys are all checked when before were unchecked 5) the P25 wait time was set to 0 not 400. 6) the audio types for all talkgroups whether analog or digital were chosen, that was left alone before. 7) the bandplan step size was changed back to 25khz and last but not least the freq's were put in lcn order based upon some peoples files shared with me, they originally were in the order that they are posted on radioreference. These are the aspects of the radio that I am less familiar with so they were good enough settings for pre reband but I took a chance and all that matters is now it works. If anyone could enlighten me as to some of my issues/features I wouldn't mind it.
