Hello -
Wanted to see if anyone is having difficulty scanning the Downriver River Mutual Aid trunked system. I recently set-up this system in my Uniden BCD996XT scanner and it picks nothing up in this system - just keeps scanning for hours with absolutely no hits on anything.
I imported all the frequencies into Freescan from Radio Reference, set the quick keys, imported the control frequencies (and the alternates). I have all the downriver communities set-up as groups in the scanner (Downriver Central, North/South Area Public, Ecorse, Wyandotte, Wood Haven,Flat Rock, Gibraltar, Grosse Ile, Lincoln Park, Melvindale, River Rouge, Southgate, Trenton, etc.). The scanner is not stopping on anything.
Although the trunk system is named Downriver Mutual Aid, the "site" reads from Radio Reference as "Downriver Simulcast" - not sure if that has something to do with the problem I am having. Again, I checked the control frequencies and they are loaded (from RR).
I know some of the communities might have gone to encryption, but I do not think all these communities have gone this way yet.
I live about 25-30 miles north of Downriver area.
Trying to diagnose the issue with no luck. Thought you might all have some suggestions. Have read all the RR forum posts and can find nothing obvious.
Thanks - Wthom100
