[Scan-DC] Pro 106 and DC Fire

[Doug Kitchener]

Hi Phil, I haven't had much luck with this either, but I did want to be sure that you are aware that you program the two _systems_ (NOT scanlists!) separately.  More later 'cuz it's time for dinner, but if you want, maybe we can get together on this and try and work it out later in the month... I work at Montgomery College in Rockville MD and classes are in recess right now, but once they start later in the month I will be working some evening shifts and will have time to do a little programming.

Again, best way is probably to use the v-scanner files that are already in the radio... I can probably help you with that.

Let me try loading them into one of my radios to see if they work... I've never heard anything on either DC system; can't imagine that I would be out of range in Gaithersburg, but who knows!

Regards,

Doug

I did program all frequencies and all FD related talkgroups and still nothing. I was able to pick up PD on the 460 Freq's. Just does not make sense. All other counties in MD and VA work great.
