Tonkawa OK - Kay County

[junktrunk317]

I recently purchased a Uniden BCD996P2 for my mom, as she said they moved from analog to digital. I looked up the frequencies in rr db for Tonkawa and manually entered them into the BCD996P2 but I'm not picking anything up.

Does anyone know if Tonkawa, OK did indeed move to digital, is it part of a trunked system or if the frequencies in the database are accurate?

I've searched the internet but can't find anything indicating it moved to digital. All I find is that the frequencies were recently renewed.

Looking at the DB and is shows as analog:

So not sure how you have it programmed in the radio it's hard to say why it's not receiving anything.
Try hitting the weather button and see if it is even receiving anything and the issue isn't antenna related.
