Ever since the county moved from their 48x MHz P25 Freq to 7xx MHz, I have been unable to hear anything. I am using Uniden's 99XT, 996P2 and the 536HP. I was in an email exchange with another user who had the same issue. The County is in Redwood City, I am in Burlingame which is north, but not that far. My antenna is in the window to pickup reflected digital signals and has an RF pre-amp inline. I can hear distant CHP just fine (Yes, I know they are low band) but I also can't hear their 700MHz systems.
Is there some special setting that I need to make to the scanners? I doubt it. Rather, I'm thinking that the RR database pulled the info from the FCC database and the County is using some other control channel configuration.
I welcome suggestions, except for the sarcastic ones.
BTW: I live one city away from a BART station, yet I can't hear anything on BART's trunking system. D'Oh !
