Hi everyone. I'm David, and I'm trying to get my BCD396T Scanner to work right. I'm in Pocatello, so all I can get is the 700 MHz trunked stuff (public safety). Everything is working fine, except with EVERY message I hear, it cuts out every 4 seconds, and scans through all the other channels before it picks back up with the original message. Of course, if there is another transmission it finds before getting back to the original channel, it'll stop on that one for 4 seconds, then keep going again. It's very frustrating to miss big parts of messages all the time. It is not a priority setting; I have both kinds turned off and none of the programmed channels are set to a priority. I just don't know what else to do. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

David
