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

[Doug Kitchener]

Update:

First, Rick, thanks for the offer... but...

Second - Foo.  When I got home today I backed up the PRO197's programming and reinstalled the original V-folder stuff... and... nothing.  Not a peep out of MPDC, DCFD, or Frederick County.  So... I just have to assume that they're all out of range.

I do plan to try those systems on the BC-796 and the BC-396, but I don't hold much hope; the wind has pretty much gone outta my sails here.

Had been working on this for a friend in Wheaton who is interested in scanning Frederick and DC on his new PRO... I seem to remember going through this with Frederick before.

Thanks to all who chipped in - will advise if I make any progress.

Regards,

Doug
