I have programmed countless Uniden scanners and I've noticed specifically for the Philadelphia P25 system Fire, Medic, and Citywide J, T, M will come across Zone 1 and Zone 2.
When doing a 396T and 996T, the scan lists are separate unlike the XT models in ARC-XT. I will double up the talk groups for Medic,Fire,and Citywide on Zone 1 and 2. I always recommend the customer leaves the scanner on "scan" mode when specifically requesting to hear Fire or Medic, since they play on 1 and 2. I've had a few people complain they miss stuff and say they pickup more chatter when leaving the scanner on "hold" mode on a specific Talkgroup rather then scan mode. I'm curious as to what others think and what success stories you have.
