Hi all,
I'm new to RR but have been reading some great posts and I am confident that you guys will be able to help me with my issue.
I am quite new to scanners so please remember that when reading this!
When I bought my scanner I created scanlists for the Regional Police departments in my area which are primarily: Toronto, York, and Peel Police.
At first, I picked up Toronto and York flawlessly. After a few weeks I stopped receiving any transmissions from York ( I am quite far from York and was surprised to hear it in the first place). Peel, I never heard, and I assume they use encrypted radios.
After searching on RR for reasons why I all of a sudden lost York, I read that they change their Control Channel on a daily basis. After speaking to a co-worker, he basically explained to me that the problem could be that my scanner has a weaker CC programed as the main CC and I need to change it to start receiving transmissions again.
Can anyone help me:
a) change the CC, I can't seem to find any information as to how I can view / edit them
b) provide me with some insight as to anyhting else I may or may not be doing?
Thanks and please forgive any newbness.
