I am having problems scanning the EDACS TRS for Ottawa County Ohio. The database entries are here Ottawa County Public Safety Radio System Trunking System, Port Clinton, Ohio - Scanner Frequencies .
I selected bank 2 on the scanner, entered programming mode and trunk, selected the system as "Ed" and entered the frequencies in the order listed in the database. I then entered the TG Id's I want to scan in the first scan list (1-1 - 1-0) and deselected the other 9 scan lists. I then start scanning and make sure it is in trunking mode (in conventional mode I can hear the control channel sound just fine).
The problem is I cannot get any traffic while scanning. Maybe I am mistaken, but from what I read and understand the rebanding issues only applied to Motorola systems and not EDACS. Is there something I am missing. I receive the VHF pager frequency just fine and since I can receive the control channel I am assuming I am not too far away...any advice????
