Hello all - I hope you don't mind me asking a tech question. I have a Bearcat BC245xlt scanner from a few years back and was hoping to use it to listen to the system used by Charlottesville/Albemarle. From what I'm reading, this scanner *should* be able to listen in.
The Albemarle trunking system is a Motorola II 800mhz SMARTNET. I've entered all frequencies and made sure that the correct trunking type was selected but I'm not getting anything. Is there anything I'm forgetting? I'm listening from the heart of UVA which should at least be able to pick something up Cville-related.
Thanks very much from a total scanning newbie.
