So where do I begin.
First of all, this is my first post on this forum and I'd like to thank you all in advance for help. I am in public safety ( EMS ) and have only recently founded an interest in the scanning world.
I am trying to program the Uniden BCD396XT scanner I just purchased using FreeScan software. I only care about monitoring one city, and that is Nashua NH Police, fire & EMS. Nashua is a Motorola type II digital re-banded 800mHz trunking system. Here is a link to the system information:
Nashua NH Trunk System - Scan New England Wiki
I have included pictures of (in descending order) of screenshots of:
-System definitions
-The site freqs (pg 1)
-The site band plan (pg 2)
-Group 1 (Nashua PD TGIDs)
-Group 2 (Nashua FD/ AMR TGIDs)
*Please note, you will notice if you look at the link and the TGIDs I have, some are excluded. This is purposefully, as I don't really care to listen to some of them.
Here's what's happening:
My programming uploads into the scanner just fine, and the screen shows "Nashua PD/FD/EMS" just as it is intended, and says "ID SCAN". But absolutely nothing comes through. No noise, no voice, nothing. If I press hold and leave it on a channel, there is static/digital noise. But if I quick-enter one of the voice freqs (perhaps 851.0500), I get crystal clear voice (obviously it's not everything because there are several voice channels in this system). And there are no TGID identifiers.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Again, thank you in advance for taking the time to read through this and offer help. I feel like a lost puppy with this thing!
All the very best, Jeremy
