I have a Pro-106 scanner. I've updated the firmware(s) to the latest versions (1.4 for DSP, and 1.8 for the CPU)... Do I need to do anything with the talkgroup tables?
I have 2 Motorola Type II SmartZone systems I'd like to listen to, and 2 EDACS systems... And it seems I'm not hearing anything from ANY of them. 2 of the 4 systems are a ways away from me so signal level may be a problem, but there's one that I definitely SHOULD be able to hear, and I don't hear anything... I'm in Allenstown by Bear Brook State park, and I *should* be able to hear at least Manchester's EDACS system... Hell, I can hear Bedford's standard P25 system clear as day... Manchester should be no problem!
From my house, I can hear the Nashua 2meter Amateur Radio repeater clear as day too, so I'd think I would be able to hear Nashua's Motorola Type II system as well, but I don't get a peep out of it!
Does the firmware updates I put into the scanner update the default TTables so I can use the default, or will I have to set it to custom? I've tried it both ways, and neither works. Is there something else I'm missing?
Also, what's a Fleetmap? All of my TSYS entries have a Fleetmap of "Type 2"...
I'm using ARC500 if that matters... I haven't bought it yet, so does anyone recommend anything better or is this good?
