I think rebanding is still ongoing in the extreme SW part of the USA. Regardless, it has been complete for many years in most of the country with no reports of DB loading issues. (AFAIK) Joe M.

OK. First, forget about the 457.500 frequency - that is the input to a repeater (most likely - like 99% certain). You will rarely hear anything there. The LCN it found was probably for 452.500 and I t

Yes, MotoTRBO Trunk. Odds are the LCN of the control channel is 1. The nice thing is that will work whether it's Capacity Plus or Connect Plus (two types of TRBO trunking). But LCN Finder is really ni

Sounds like they switched to a trunked system which would need to be programmed as such. Joe M.

Bad speaker, bad speaker connection, or bad connection in the earphone jack. Try plugging in earphones and unplugging a few times. Joe M.

It's a little complex, but Number Tags would get you there quickly. Set a Number Tag for the FL, System, and Channel, then to quickly go to that channel hit FLNT.SNT.CNT CHANNEL. For example, if you s

Hi Maggie, What I specifically meant by "remote antenna" is one that is more than 3' away from the scanner. Yes, by a window is better for reception, but even not by the window can eliminate internal

Scanners, like everything else, are getting more consolidated. Sometimes the RX chips used aren't as good as discrete components. I remember when the ECPA was released and scanners had to add Cell ban

Yes, the "remote antenna" would be a great test, too. Even if it's not practical for your use, it can easily reveal something. Joe M.

OK. You mention CTCSS is used on the repeater frequency. What happens if you remove it? There can be a delay hearing three consecutive frequencies all programmed with CTCSS when they are the same freq

There still could be so many issues it could be. What are the frequencies involved? Being able to hear something from farther away means nothing. There are many reasons that is possible. Are you using

When you get the key, press the MENU button on the scanner, then select SETTING, then UPGRADE, select the mode to be added, then enter the key. Joe M.

Odds are it is one of the following: 1. You do not have the Service Type set. 2. You do not have the Quick Key enabled (if assigned) 3. You do not have MONITOR enabled. Joe M.

Feel free to send the screenshot. During a transmission do you hear squelch noise or the transmission if the squelch is open? Joe M.

If it is showing NFM then it's not the bandplan. Is this a NFM frequency or is it one of the exceptions? Service Types also don't affect the "VFO Mode". Does the squelch work? By first instinct is tha

The "VFO mode" does not matter with respect to programming. It is a function of the scanner and works with zero programming. It cannot be the CTCSS/CDCSS/Etc because that is a CSQ monitor mode. Joe M.

That is really odd. Is the mode correct? Perhaps your bandplan is not set correctly. Joe M.

Same thing but use CHANNEL in place of HOLD. CHANNEL 154.190 CHANNEL Welcome to the online interactive cheat sheet. Joe M.
