Scan New England

You have a 396XT. You only need the control and alternate control channels. The scanner will do the rest. A group of poorly informed on Radio Reference believed that these scanners magically work better when you program in frequencies that the receiver does not tune to, somehow makes it work better....

I suspect that is what the OP is referring to, however. None of the databases refer to the analog system as CoMIRS, despite the fact it's also CoMIRS.

I think you're in a spot with no coverage. The system is really only covering the metro Boston area and Western Mass.

Yes. In the Wiki "N" is short for NAC. "C" is Color Code on DMR listings (C12 for example is Color Code 12). "R" is for RAN on NXDN listings (R10 for example is RAN 10) "D" is for Digital PL or DPL. The NAC does are always in HEX. Color Codes and RAN are alway...

Whether people know if South Boston is part of the city or not is irrelevant to this discussion, please move on.

Thanks.

For some reason I get a lot of digital noise on 483.5375, especially when I'm in Quincy or Weymouth. It happens on the SDS200 in my truck. I've checked the settings and they are all correct. PL, audio mode, modulation are as they should be. I have it set up on my SDR computer in DSD+, but don't get...

I can't due to prior commitments.

I'd really like to go too. I enjoyed it last year.

I just got an APX-4000 and have the APX software and i have been having issue programing local P25 frequencies for monitoring Good Morning Arnold, I am assuming you haven't read the board terms of service we have here that applies to all the members, but we do not provide programming assistance for...

Thank you!

Jeremy this is done.

Try 483.4125 P25 NAC 942 simplex.

On 155.8500?

Unknown Retail Frequency heard on Close Call: 467.875 DPL of 723 That would be GUESS! , the clothing store. If you ever wonder about a mystery store frequency, a good rule of thumb is to check our common store frequency chart. https://www.snewiki.com/wiki/index.php/Common_Standard_Department_Store_...

Hello. Per the site policy, we do NOT list repeater inputs here, especially on public safety.

Thank you.

It may be location, you may be having some sort issue with LSM distortion.

Also I've taken you off of the moderation queue, so you can post without approval.

If I leave it in all I get the shush but no audio showing that they are transmitting the signal is good this has been the sign of encryption because Taunton acts the same way If you go to digital and put in NAC you hear nothing also a trait of Taunton And it is so confusing because on Facebook and ...

So the thing with P25 is if the reception is poor, it'll sound encrypted and the scanner may even indicate that it's encrypted. How's your reception been so far prior to today?

You're right. I was getting Connect Plus and Cap Plus confused.

Where you able to get a Network ID from it?

Confirmed as well. Added to wiki

You don't. It shouldn't affect your normal reception. Make sure you have a NAC programmed in so it doesn't stop.

I listened to PlymouthPD last night. Thank you for all your assistance. I have a BCD536. In the upper right side of the screen, instead of p25 it is now indicating CAP. What does that mean? It means you are picking up the Capacity Plus system as well on the frequency. If you have the NAC programmed...

I live in South Plymouth. I know Plymouth PD went to P25 last week. As of last night, I have not heard any transmissions from Plymouth PD. I have put in the correct frequency and NAC. Any help would be appreciated. Hearing them right now. Try them without the NAC (NAC Search) and see if you hear th...

Why he is using a Regency Monitoradio 8 like most of us. What are you using Mr. Fancy pants Scanner Master kid? You probably get all the crystals you want!

Surprisingly the x36 Uniden scanners do fairly well with LSM. Not like the SDS, but they do handle it good. Better than the 996P2s that some on RR claim are God's gift to scanning.
