I recently bought a BCD436HP and I'm old school and certainly struggling with learning all the features reading a "not so user friendly manual".
Problem:
I usually only listen to our county sheriff's department so I just press HOLD when I first hear them when scanning. Later, I'll turn the scanner off and charge the battery's and when I turn it back on .....as expected......the sheriff's information appears on the screen as it should and I should be able to hear audio coming through. The radio is silent......sometimes for hours even though the sheriff's info is displayed on the screen. If I press HOLD again to allow it to scan and re-press HOLD when I hear them again, everything seems normal and I hear audio again.
This also happens, of course, when I turn it off, swap the battery's and turn it back on again.....no audio for a time period long enough that a police department that size should have said something.
What am I doing wrong ?
THANKS (first post but it won't be my last with this scanner)
