I've had a Pro 96 since about 2007, as best as I can tell. I was able to download from here and send to the radio the appropriate configuration for my area, back then.
Recently, there's been a complete disappearance of activity on almost all the public safety channels. I pick up some local college security or maintenance traffic, but nothing like the regular 29p or 13a calls from law enforcement.
I've paid my dues, so to speak, and have the most recent version of win96 and the most recent database for my area, and have backed up the existing configuration, then loaded the new one, yet the results are the same. I can reload either configuration and manually step through the channels, picking up a call here and there, so it's not that the numbers are incorrect.
At one point, the full scan appeared to work, as it would pick up the "usual traffic" but then it vanished again.
I know so little that I'm not sure how to begin troubleshooting. The manual is zero help at all, but that probably doesn't surprise anyone in this forum.
Is there a possibility that I managed to press a key combination that made things go quiet and I can just press a couple buttons and get it going again?
I've had one suggestion from long ago to read the wiki on trunking, since the manual only confuses, but I would not expect that it would have anything specific to the pro 96 that would cover this peculiarity.
Thanks for the consideration.
