[Scan-DC] Need help - Arlington Fire Trunking

[Doug K.]

Thanks John, would you believe that in that usa.zip file there is one 
Arlington file - that's the one I have and no workie!

I just got off the phone with a friend who's an Arlington firefighter, but 
he knows nothing about the trunked system... he had to run, his son was 
fussing, but i'm going to get back with him.

So far no luck, but thanks anyway.

Will email you a copy of my mem file this week, and anybody else that wants 
it (email me privately)...  I can't remember whatall I have programmed, most 
of it is Maryland stuff... will post a list, but I know I have Montgomery, 
Howard, Frederick.  Also Ocean City, Worcester County, and Sussex County 
Delaware - all of those are known good and working.

Regards,

Doug
