new BC796D Riscon problem

[Martya115]

I love my BC796Ds, and I have a couple of suggestions for you...

In order to switch between ID Scan/List and Bank displays, press the . (dot) button, next to the "0" button. ID Scan/List shows which talkgroups banks are active. Bank display mode shows which Banks are active.

I'd also recommend trying to zero in on just one tower, but remember that each site, i.e., Metro, South, etc., are made up of several or more towers. To do this, you find the approximate location of your monitoring site on the RR site map (here, I'm using the South Simulcast map), then point a directional antenna (like a yagi) directly at the tower to isolate your scanner's reception to that one tower. You might have to experiment a bit to select the best tower for you.

Great news!! Maybe you turned off the bank. Press #1 when in scan mode.

it was not the bank that gave me trouble it was the list, keep searching for talkgroup lockout should have been searching for list 'lockout' thanks for all your help. Think I have the correct term now.
