So I am sure I am probably the problem.
Summary:
Live near Cedar Fort / Eagle Mountain
Scanner is a PRO-18 with latest downloads 800mhz radio shack antenna
Target: UCAN (specifically I only really care about the North Utah County Sheriffs channels)
I am wondering if the radio reference guide that the pro-18 downloads is setup right for the rebanded UCAN system. I volunteer for the county so I am familiar with how much traffic is in the area. When listening I do get traffic and can hear 26J (saratoga springs, and some 1J traffic) but it sure seems quiet compared to listening to the county radios on a given day.
So my configuration is pretty much straight out of the database. I did a library Import, choose Utah, Systems, UCAN. This gives a person 64 sites if you choose them all. I would assume in my area I would only need the Utah County ones, and maybe the Vernon Hills one since that is very close to the west of me. I have tried using just selected, and importing all sites.
So talkgroups wise I am almost positive that 46112 Utah County Sheriff North is the main channel that I care about other than an occasional Tac channel or the Car - Car (local only). Life flight etc I might add in later also.
So imported all the utah county talk groups.
So with this configuration I do hear some traffic, mostly 26J, but it is quite quiet. If I suck in some slc county channels it can be quite noisy. The scanner seems to work fine in other words.
It just seems like I am missing alot of traffic.
I will verify more tonight while working and around a real radio to see what I am missing.
I am wondering if things are right in the config I downloaded from the radio reference database.
Do I need to do a custom rebanded setup ?
867.66250 is the Utah Co simulcast site from what I have found.
852.66250 is the control channel from all the research I have done.
I am not quite sure where I am going wrong. Sorry for what is probably a newbie question.
