The Seattle police/fire feed seems to be down. |

Same problem here. I see that the Seattle Simulcast has been 're-banded,' but as a newbie I'm not sure what I can do with my BCT8 to get Trunk Tracking to work again. I tried reprogramming the control channel down 15 Mhz as another member did, but this did not help. |

The BCT8 does support rebanding. You must have the latest Firmware version and program the Custom Band Plan. |

Looks like the feed radio didn't get programmed for the rebanding. |

Oh crap! I was logging on for the first time in years to see why my BCT8 wasn't working all of a sudden only to find out that I have to screw with firmware?? I barely got the damn thing programmed in the first place! Would it be easier to just buy a newer scanner? I only monitor Seattle Police and Fire. Nothing fancy... - Silver |

After upgrading the firmware you'll just need to change the control channel and your scanner will work just fine. If/when a shuffled band plan is implemented no scanner will work. |

Thank you so much, Atomic Taco! It was this part that sounded confusing: "...and program the Custom Band Plan." |

Okay, I watched this helpful video: http://youtu.be/m9hSVdQDD34 ...only to find out that I don't have the proper cable and computer to do the firmware upgrade. I would rather just throw money at this problem. Is there anywhere in the greater Seattle area that I can take my poor little Bearcat and PAY someone to upgrade the firmware for me? - Silver |
