[Scan-DC] Montgo re-banding

[Doug Kitchener]

I just got home after being gone since early this morning... in my BC-796 the other night I copied the (working) montgomery county system to another bank, then changed the frequencies to the 853 MHz... have punched up that bank now and the radio is _NOT_ trunking...

I have not checked to confirm that my programming is correct and that everything copied over properly... but so far, nothing...

I suspect this may be the case.  We'll see what happens over the next few days.

So far, on my unmodified Pro-96, I seem to be hearing everything as I should.  I'm hearing occasional digital break-up, but when I do the dispatcher (or hospital) also seems to be hearing it.
