Hello, I live here in Albany New York (Upstate) Anyways, I seem to have trouble with only one set of police freqs. I try to upload to the scanner... The Albany PD. There are 6 freqs. and I only get 4 of the 6? I have tried uploading many times and still only get 4 of them. I have tried to enter them manually and get a machine gun sound sometines in them and sometimes I get dispatch calls. I am using a radio shack pro 197 digital scanner and usb data cable with butel arc 500 software with a computer connected to cable.


Here are the Freqs. (856.21250 856.43750 857.21250 858.21250 859.21250 860.21250)


I know the first two are to ones that are active cause when I entered them in manually I was hearing the dispatch. I search the scanner bank before entering manually and didn't find the first two freqs. in the list above only the last four? am I doing something wrong? I am new to all this digital scanning but this is the first time I have had a problem.

Albany police use one of the City's trunked systems. The scanner you are attempting to program wants only the control channels. Details on the system can be found at
NY Motorola BB37

Further discussion relating to local radio systems should be continued in the New York State Forum.
