Sorry this is late, but...

The County uses a commercial paging service. I can't tell you HOW I know, but I'm certain of it.

As I understand it, their primary dispatch is via pagers. The radios are secondary, like SDFD.

Makes NO sense at all. Only CV & Heatland are IN the South Zone, and Heartland needs the extra commands to carry their load.

I know 2 others that had the same problem.

I keep my 396 as a backup, and it doesn't get much use.
I HOPE it doesn't go bad now that it's out of warranty!

No 'zone specific' channel should ever be heard on a different zone.

Are you sure you had only the south zone scanning??

LE South and North Commands are VERY active, for pursuits and much more.

I know someone who has 2 BC 785 base/mobile digital scanners for sale.

Not much you can do but send it back to Uniden for repair.

You mention checking the TGs, but have you checked the freqs and made sure all 19 are entered, AND none (especially 1 of the 4 possible data channels) are locked out?

It appears to be fire only, but still something.

ONE of these days, when the scanner (and maybe computer) get here, there will be an SO/PD RCS north feed available.
