Hi all,
I live in Austin TX and plan to apply for the 2015 police academy. Listening to a scanner would be a great help in preparing me for the academy and real situations I would face as a police officer. The system used by LE in Austin is APCO-25 (https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=2)
I bought the BCD396XT and downloaded the system frequencies via freescan. The scanner appears to be scanning through the channels but never hits on any conversations. So I cleared the system and tried programming it manually following instructions from uniden wiki (StandardP25TrunkedSystems < UnidenMan4 < TWiki) and
the easier to read manual (Easier to Read BCD396XT Digital Scanner Manual)
I've spent many many hours trying to figure what I'm doing wrong. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
