Recently my area rebanded the 800 public service frequencies (852-853).
I have 2 scanners that were supposed to quit working when this happened a Pro-94 and pro-2052, they continue to work after rebanding, however my pro-96 and uniden BCD396T had to be upgraded so they would work after rebanding.
The issue that all 4 scanners are having on the rebanded frequencies is the channels seem to stay open all the time, in other words adjusting the squelch does not do anything, the channel stays stuck on, all rebanded channels do this, so if you scan it never stops on a rebanded channel on the 396T scanner, you have to push hold and leave it on one channel and manually change if you want to listen to another.
On the 3 radioshack scanners you can push scan and the first rebanded channel it comes to it stops on that channel and wii not squelch out and continue scanning, once again you have to manually go to the next channel. Has anyone else run into this issue? Is there a reason that these frequencies are staying in the open position.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rick
