Hello,
Can anybody Please help me? I have a Uniden BCD996T bearcat scanner for 4 years now and I have programmed it all by Hand.{14 Counties} What I am having problems with is the new Trunked System in my County, which is Centre County in Pennsylvania, They are switching over to the new Motorola type II Smartcast System. I have gotten a lot of information off of here and set the trunk system up myself. I put it in a system, I set the system up as Motorola type II/P-25 system. put a name on it, went to system option, I put it on scan for ID scan/ search, status bit- I put yes, end code- I put yes, I-call is off, set record- I put all channels, I went to select site and selected site, set quick key to 1, set start key to 1, I put 21 frequencies in, set the Modulation to auto. I have had it on NFM but did not pick anything up on it for days. I set the Attenuator to yes, hold time is 2, set the C-Channel only to On. I have 4 groups with the talk groups ID's in them. I set the quick keys up from 1 to 4 since I have 4 groups and then hit scan. It has been on for over a week and I don't pick anything up at all. And something else to throw out there, I have tried with a antenna outside for another week and still nothing. I live on top of a mountain{1800 feet up}and I thought I could pick it up easy since one of the system towers is real close to me. Can somebody help me out? and I have saved everything too just to let you know.
