[Scan-DC] Thanks!

Doug:

I reprogrammed the 396T to  ignore the status bit this morning at work, and
scanned the whole day, using ID scan part of the day and ID search in the
afternoon and I am not aware of hearing any traffic on either ICC talk
group.  Tomorrow, I'll cable it up and start ARC396Pro to log calls, and see
what I get while I'm working at my desk.  Bethesda SAT channel was busy this
afternoon, but someone set their radios to encrypted so all I got were
squeals and then carrier until I finally locked them out!  Interesting,
because they are usually in the clear.  Maybe they just wanted to see if I
would mention that here!

I've got a pinched sciatic nerve bothering my back, so I haven't been
roaming the building too much this week, but staying close to the desk.

Let you know what is happening tomorrow.
JK

Hey Joel, don't feel pregnant, as they say... all I knew is that most of the
TG numbers that I'd seen were evens!  :)

Now... Previously, all the ICC radio traffic that I've heard has been while
I was in the car, either on the PRO-106 or the PRO-197... I programmed 16688
into the BC796 (my main "base" radio) yesterday evening and heard nary a
peep here in Gaitherbush... changed that to 32688 earlier today and didn't
hear anything before leaving for work, and that was at 2:30... have you
heard any transmissions?  Anybody else?

I haven't tried using the 106 or the 197 at the house.

I can't imagine that I wouldn't be able to hear two talkgroups out of the
whole system here at home...
