There appears to be a lot of digital talkgroups on that system, which the BCT15X will not receive. I'm guessing Crawfordsville is probably in Crawford county. I see that both Crawford county and Montgomery county appear to be just about all digital. That being the case, that particular scanner won't receive them. There is some analog TG's on that system, but I'm not familiar enough with your area to know if any of them might be available on the site you're scanning.

You might have better luck posing your question in the Indiana forum here on RR.

That system has rebanded. Program the site as Mot/Custom Reband.

The majority of that system is digital. The BCT15X will not decode digital transmissions.

Scroll down the system page and look at the mode column. Anything with an "A" is analog and you should be able to hear it, like DOT, corrections.

Anything with a "D" is digital and you will need a digital scanner to hear that, like fire and law enforcement.

An "E" in the mode column denotes encryption, which no scanner can receive.

Also make sure your system, site, and groups are not locked out.

digital

If I'm correct, then Crawfordsville is in Montgomery county. The third columns you see ( of D's) means digital. Which means you would need a digital scanner which unfortunately this BCT15X is not. If you upgrade to a digital scanner you would be able to receive these. Otherwise it looks like the only one you can get with your current scanner is the Red Cross (A). I'm new to this so someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

id scan

with id scan on it will only let you hear those groups try setting it to id search by hitting the scan button. at that point it should say "id search" and let you hear anybody except those that you lockout.
the flashing signal bar could be that you have the hold time set to 2 (default) you could set it for a higher number (like 255) that is how long the radio stays on the system before doing the next thing (system, custom search or whatever)
