Good evening. I have not been able to pick up the fire department traffic on my Uniden HomePatrol-1 for both my city (Lufkin, Texas) and my county (Angelina County). I can get both on the Radio Shack scanner we have at the office.

Both are listed as analog channels on the HomePatrol, but I know that the City of Lufkin fire channel is digital, and I believe that the county channel is now digital, as well.

For reference, here are all my county's frequencies: www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?ctid=2525#cid-216 ... The two with which I am most concerned are the Lufkin Fire/EMS Primary at 154.44500 and the County Fire Primary at 154.0100.

Thanks for your help.

When was the last time you updated the database in your Home Patrol?

From the main screen on the Home Patrol, select MENU --> ADVANCED MENU --> scroll down arrow --> VERSION INFORMATION

What does it say there for the date of the database?

I think I just figured out how to change it on my scanner, at least, using the Sentinel software. We'll see.

I've updated it a month or so ago and again just now, so it's the 03/13/2016 database.

That actually worked, at least on the city channel. I haven't heard any traffic on the county channel yet, but it's sporadic.
