Nashua Trunk System.

[hydroelectric1]

I'm tryting to listen to the Nashua PD and FD trunked system, but I don't think I have it working right. I'm using a Whistler 1065 with Arc500 and live in Lowell, MA so about 10 miles away. I have an average range of about 20 miles so range should not be an issue, but I'm not hearing anything. I am testing it with a broadcastify stream in the background but even though there is traffic on the broadcastify end, I'm not hearing any of it. In Arc500, I selected all the police, ems and fire talkgroups and then selected all 10 frequencies in the City of Nashua site. I'm new to scanning so I might be doing this wrong. Any tips or help?

Have you set up the system as P25 Auto? If not you need to set it up that way.

Yes, the system type is P25 Auto.

Do you have a scan list and the trunk system assigned to each talkgroup and the scan lists turned on? You only need the red control channel and three blue alternate frequencies. Set the squelch to minimum.

Thank you, I have been starting to get it.
