Hello everyone, I hope this note finds you all well.
First let me say that I am relatively clueless about this world of scanners. My wife, however, enjoys listening to our local law enforcement band. We live in Broward County Florida, and the Sheriffs Dept is the principal law enforcement for most of the county, having incorporated many of the city departments into BSO.
Brief background:
Bought wife RS Pro-433 last Christmas.
You kind folks talked me through how to get the programing software for Browards trunking system, as well as how to actually use it and program it. (Ten thousand thank yous!)
Not long ago, it stopped scanning like it did before. It no longer receives the the responding deputy, only dispatch for the most part, isn't scanning the same frequencies, and is basically driving me insane trying to figure something out I have almost no background or knowledge of !!!
I have reprogrammed it twice without positive results.
My question(s) I hope to resolve are:
Is it possible Broward County changed their trunking system?
If so, how would I find out and reprogram?
Is it possible a lightning strike fried something? It does scan, but only like it did out of the box and not the programmed freq's.
Do I need to upgrade to a digital scanner for our area?
I am at my wits end and just about insane over it!!!
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance
Patrick Connell
