"Mary" wrote in message ... I just bought a PRO-2033 and would like to hear 460.300 and what's listed as the 'talk-around'. I am completely ignorant and trying to get a grasp on this stuff. My Dad was a chief of police (passed away in 2000) and I've got tons of cops in the family but hate to admit I never paid attention and ask one of them When I hit the scan button, the digital readout just runs 1 through 10 and flashes all zeros every time. If I turn the squelch down, it stops, but it's just static. So it appears auto scanning doesn't even pick anything up at all. Is it my location or my reception? When I try to manually enter the frequency, it gives me an error every time or simply nothing. Do you think I am a) doing it wrong. b) the scanner itself doesn't function properly or c) my antenna isn't working? Is it also possible that the previous owner locked out lots of frequencies? I think the only way to unlock one is to enter the exact number first. Any guidance for a complete new person who is seriously interested in doing this? TIA, Mary OK - I feel like such a geek. I'm sitting her past midnight with a grin on my face because I finally figured out what my problem was!! It was scanning 1 through 10 and flashing zeros because *I didn't know it was only scanning the programmed frequencies*. Of which there were none yet! I thought scan would scan through all available frequencies not just ones I specified. Anyone know if there is a way to scan that way, too? Gees - thanks for all the help. I'm off to bed! Mary |
