[Scan-DC] Need help - Arlington Fire Trunking

[Doug K.]

Hope this isn't a duplicate, email seems to be acting up...

Greetings, List!

I've been off for awhile... time has been at a premium and so I needed to 
drop off...

Need some help - I have a Uniden BC-796 and have been fairly successful at 
programming it, using the ARC-250 software.

But... I _cannot_ seem to scan Arlington VA, no matter what I do... have 
written 3 different programs myself, plus downloaded one that I found on the 
yahoo scanner group... nothing seems to work; my radio doesn't seem to 
recognize any of the programming for Arlington as a trunked system (works 
fine on Montgomery trunking).

I have gotten info on Arlinton from radioreference.com and used that... also 
checked the FCC database, and guess what - the frequencies shown there don't 
match up with what's on radioreference!

Have written programs using both sets of frequencies, to no avail.

So:

Does anybody have any thoughts?

Does anyone have an ARC-250 .mem file for Arlington that is known to be 
working?

Does anyone have any info on the Arlington system/frequencies, settings, 
etc?

Thanks in advance - I have also downloaded the list archives from 2006 and 
2005, will look thru them shortly... I have a new computer and don't have 
all the utilities (WinZip) installed yet - gonna do that right now!  Thanks 
again!

Doug in Gaithersburg - deaf to Arlington!
