Scanning Branford???

[funky2714]

I have a BCD 396t scanner and live in North Branford. I have used this website to obtain the Branford frequencies for police and fire but I have yet to hear a broadcast. I notice that the frequencies for branford are listed as mixed analog/digital. Are these types of systems able to be received?? Do they need to be programed a certain way in order to hear them???

Any guidance on this would be appreciated!!!

Branford Pd is 460.125 and p25 digital 24/7 If the uniden is the same as the radio shacks all you need to do is leave the radio set to fm mode.
Branford FD has 2 frequencies F1 is 453.450 and is usually analog but has digital capabilty
F2 is 453.4125 and also is mixed

on the pd side, make sure you don't have a pl or dpl in there. the radio should already see it's digital and decode the channel.
