[Scan-DC] DC Fire / PD systems from Gaithersburg

Tue Jun 29 12:24:27 EDT 2010

Thanks to all.  I _think_ I have everything set up properly - I had tried both combining the two systems (Which I didn't think would work!) and separating them... all the bandplan and frequency stuff looks to be OK as well as the other settings.  In addition, I blew the systems away and tried downloading them directly from RadioReference via the BuTel software, and no good...

Next things I'm going to try - going back to the original V-folder or whatever it's called, the programming that came with the scanner, and trying that... also doing a little reading on the scanner and the software to see if anything jumps out at me.  My programming for Ocean City was working OK when I was down there (EDACS system) and my Montgomery County programming works fine... I think Howard works.

I did try Frederick last night and never heard a peep out of them... could possibly be out of range there.

All this to be done over the next few days as time permits... will let yas know what happens... thx again.

Regards,

Doug
