Sometime over the past two weeks Dracut updated all there radios. This is according to the Dracut Chief of Police during last Tuesdays Selectman meeting. Since a day or two before that meeting, Dracut went silent on my SDS100. I have all available updates/upgrades available for the radio. Anybody have any more info on new frequencies or if they changed to something that we can't lock in on? I don't know much about this stuff but love listening to the radio chatter.

Thanks

Try these,

482.8875R N957 Dracut PD Ch1
482.7500R N957 Dracut PD Ch2
Those are the same codes that I was using (and listed in the database here). Except you put an R after the frequency. I tried to add that in Sentinel but of course it wouldn't take a letter. The only thing I tried was changing the Modulation from FM (which worked for the past couple of years) to NFM. Doesn't seem to have helped.

R just means it's repeated. You're using the digital NAC codes?

The DB was updated right after they changed. If you use Sentinel to program the radio, just update the master HPDB, and reimport Dracut to your favorite list. They're updated in Sentinel (I just checked)
