Hello. First of all I am not sure why my username became bedfordsheriff - that's where I work. I am not the Sheriff, who is an outstanding Sheriff.
I am IT and setting up a scanner (Pro-668) and having some issues.
When using the import library feature via zip code (24523) we cannot get any traffic off the imported library except Fire&Rescue which is conventional. (Using the zip code feature doesn't even properly set up the scanner right at all - which I don't understand even after updating the library)
So I hooked it up to the software included on the SD card of the scanner. Imported our trunked radio systems which was State Police and Central Planning. We can't receive any State police stuff where I live so I removed that Trunked Radio System and just left Central Planning. With the help of the 911 communications manager we removed all the unused channels in the sites. We have 3 sites (lynchburg, Bedford, and stewartsville.) So I removed all the talkgroups that we weren't using (know for a fact) Our system is EDACs and analog system still.
I set all the talkgroups to Playlist 1. Then made Playlist 2 a conventional channel for the school buses.
We replaced the default antenna with the Radio Shack 800mhz antenna as recommended by many people.
I wrote config to the SD card and activated Playlist 1 and Playlist 2 only (set playlist 1 to priority) and all I can get is the conventional channel.
An older scanner in the same place worked fine, this is a replacement since the old scanner gave up the ghost after many many faithful years.
I have done all the updates on the scanner. Is there a step I am missing? Please help if you can. I can provide pictures of the scanner and screenshots of the software.
