BCT15X: Why is this happening...

[rrbum]

Can anyone help me to figure out what is going wrong here? I am trying to search between 454.000Mhz and 455.050Mhz on this bct15x.
These are the old radio telephone freqs that are now being used by digital business services. I use the scanner to input to computer for decoding.

The problem I am having is that the scanner will not stop on frequencies that I know are active. (see it on dongle). Even turning the squelch all the way down scanner will still not stop. I remember having this issue before and it being something about the settings for custom search or for certain bands but I cannot remember how to fix.

If anyone understands what I am trying to explain and can help me to get the radio to receive in this range I would appreciate it. Thanx.


Also, if I enter the freq manually it receives, the problem is that while searching it is deaf to these same freqs.
