When the PRO-96 upgrade was released, and later the Uniden 796D, both scanners were supposed to be able to decode and track CQPSK simulcast systems. The actual demodulation testing was based on simulcast systems operating on the Twin Cities' ARMER TRS, which are in fact subsystems to main system. Likewise, the same testing was done on identical 9600 baud, 800 MHz simulcast systems in Arizona. Both comparison tests were a huge success and plans went forward from both GRE and Uniden to produce subsequent scanner models, such as the PRO-2096 and Uniden 396D, which so far have not had any problems with the aforementioned systems. However, we have three MPSCS simulcast subsystems that have come online in the past several months and we are pulling our hair out.
Michigan loves to test the latest in technology that is out, and it might be possible the data decoding firmware in our scanners needs an upgrade that allows for greater error correcting capabilities. Incidentally, none of the Detroit PD/FD or Wayne County Sheriff units have reported any reception problems like we are. This leads me to believe that GRE and Uniden will have to personally analyze our local systems, so they can build better scanners in the future that will not have these current problems. Especially, since narrowbanding will be coming along with 700 MHz to our state in a few years.
