Toronto Public Safety

I just wanted to make an obvious note for the CONTROL CHANNEL ONLY setting when scanning TPS. Make sure its ON!!

I took my 396T to my brother in laws this weekend in Toronto (I live in Halton) and couldn't hear a thing across Police, fire, or ems. So much for my scanner demo. I did a quick search online and didn't find a fix. Back at home the next day I found my error and all is working now.

Doesn't really need to be on as long as you program in all the site's frequencies.

Even with it on, it's a good idea to program in all the frequencies anyways.

Best is to program all channels and leave CC Only off.

So not just the primary and backup, but all listed freqs? I'll get right on that!

Thanks!

that also helps in case the CC ever changes to another frequency not listed as a primary or alternate (rare but happens)
