Gang,
First off - I appreciate this website and all the work that's gone into it, especially when it comes to newbs like me with more money than scanner brains. Before you beat me down - I have a B.S. in C.S. - so I'm not a dunce when it comes to 1's and 0's.
I had an old clunky scanner 20 years ago, and stumbled back into this with a couple of iPhone apps. Went out and bought a Uniden BCD396XT, and figured that with the database files and the Freescan utility, I'd be in business (I live about 5 miles from Nellis - really wanted to listen to their trunked traffic in addition to Clark County police/fire). So....I downloaded and "installed" the Clark County database 2 days ago. And.....I'm not hearing anything as far as Nellis goes, no fire tone outs (or fire calls of any kind), and really only traffic on the same 2 or 3 police channels. I've subsequently followed the "Easier to follow" webpage's instructions for this scanner, using the .CSV file as a guide to setting things up, but that didn't help at all. I hope it's okay to ask a few questions -
1. Does anyone have a pre-config'd Clark County + Nellis file they can email me that I can download that does receive trunked comms? Seems that'd be the easiest...
2. If not, does anyone have any tips for me? I paid to become a member here, got the downloader software (works great once you buy a serial-to-usb!) and the appropriate .CSV file for the county; is there something in the config of my scanner that would keep me from hearing more CC police and any fire/mil comms?
3. Are the .CSV files available on this site supposed to be all-in-one solutions to getting this scanner to hear everything going on around me, or are they just a "good start"? They seemed to be AllInOne's to me, but I assumed that after looking at the file's contents. Assume....ugh!!!
Thanks so much in advance. There's nothing worse than a piece of technology beating you, when you spend days programming things that are supposedly more complicated.
Take care,
JPP
