so i bought this scanner new on amazon. had a friend program it for me so it will pick up my local PD (trunked digital system). i have heard a couple transmissions here and there, but generally it's just silence. i have tried it on different floors & rooms in my house with no success to hear radio transmissions. once i though that maybe it was just a "slow" day & no one was on the radio. but then i used broadcastify & verified that there are radio transmissions going on. it's just my scanner isn't picking them up.
i thought maybe it's just my area. i tried it at my parent's house (about 5 minutes away), but nothing different there. i even brought it to my work to test it (which is about 10 minutes away from the 911/dispatch center and still nothing.
anyone had these problems or know if there is something else i can do to get to actually use my scanner?
