I'm living in West Bloomfield, MI. I wanna listen to Fire Department radio, but the problem i have is i can't hear any thing except Dispatch on West Bloomfield Fire frequency, i programmed my uniden BCD436HP and also wouxun dual band. I can't hear other members or trucks .... just Dispatch. ( I checked frequency with database and Tone ...)

I see 4 frequencies in the database for West Bloomfield fire, did you program all 4 of them?

Check / set the SERVices...... Uniden only enables selected services like Law and Fire dispatch by default.

Hi, tnx for reply, yes i programmed all of them but i can only hear dispatch.
I think maybe they are on open sky. The problem is i don't know a lot about open sky and which radio i need.

There does appear to be on Open Sky for the Oakland County area: CLEMS system.

CLEMIS Public Safety Communications Trunking System, Oakland County, Michigan - Scanner Frequencies

Oakland County, Michigan (MI) Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference

Unless I'm mistaken, there are no scanners that are capable of dealing with Open Sky systems, unfortunately.

Some of the fireground/Tactical channels may be simplex channels meaning that you have to be reasonably close to the transmitting unit (a couple of miles) in order to hear them.

You may wish to have this question moved to the Michigan forum and see if anyone in that area has additional information.
