It appears that there is a trunked radio system in use in Marion County that the Baofeng cannot monitor. Some fire activity may be on 46Mhz. Also cannot be received by the Baofeng.

thanks, I realize now that I should have done my research before I bought this Radio. I'll have to take it closer to Fairmount, for now, I got a $62 FM Radio.

You're not alone. They're advertised as everything but a sonar unit but, alas, that's not the case.

Look on the bright side. Now all you need is your technician license and you'll be ready to really use the radio. Just 35 questions and you can be a ham.
