How to monitor baby monitors with police scanner

I need to look at mine it could be a stuck monitor button or a q or chip failed . will get back with you. JR

• When police, public safety, etc re-band then some scanners may not pick up the frequencies and you need to update the firmware (when available) to keep your scanners ability to monitor certain frequencies, pairs of frequencies, splinter channels etc.

• Hope this helps.

If your locals went digital they are probably using trunked systems as well. Sorry, but there is no way to convert or modify your scanner to let you monitor the new systems. You'll need to pick up a trunking/digital scanner such as the Uniden BCD996XT. Programming the trunked systems is a real task, so I recommend that you purchase the Butel ARC XT PRO software and a subscription to RadioReference.com. The combination will let you research the systems in your area, decide which ones you want to monitor, and download them straight to your scanner.

If you can monitor other frequencies, chances are the south australian police are in radio silence, in other words they are not transmitting as of this time, no need to worry, your scanner is ok, just keep on scanning. Happy Monitoring ;-)

Doesn't Maine have a state law concerning the Civilian monitoring or Police channels? I know they used Trunked Multi channel systems.

First, make sure that you have the correct frequency for your local police. You can find a comprehensive database of active frequencies in your area by visiting:
www.Reference.com

Program the frequency or frequencies using the instructions in the scanner's operating manual. and you should be all set. If you need the manual, you can download and print it, at no cost, here:

NOTE: If the frequency database shows that your local police are using a trunked system, you will not be able to monitor them using the BC60XLT-1. Trunked systems require a trunking scanner. Many law enforcement agencies are also using digital systems for their communications. If that's the case in your area you'll need a scanner capable of monitoring APCO-25 digital transmissions.

If your scanner previously picked up your local police communications, it's possible that their system has been upgraded to a new trunked radio system - a system that your BC370CRS is not capable of monitoring. For a comprehensive database of active frequencies and systems in your area, visit:

I don't know your location, but it's possible that your local police have upgraded to a trunked radio system.If that's the case you will not be able to monitor them on the BC350C. You can visit www.uniden.com for information on their complete line of trunking scanners.
