activity on Non control channels

I am having a lot of scanner activity on non control channels on the tower near me, found out by accident, with 2 scanners on at the same time the activity will not be on the control channel or the alt. control channel. Any Ideas?

Define activity. If it's voice, then it should be there. The controllers are data only. If it's voice you dont hear in "scan" or "closed" mode then you dont have those ID's programmed.

There may be nothing but idle burst activity on a system if it is just starting up, or winding down. There are other hardware/software tools that tell the Home Repeater number by the bursts. If there is activity, maybe the groups just have not been ID'ed and the database doesn't like non-IDed TG's being submitted.

What system are you monitoring??

The activity is 2 way comunication that is perfectly understandable. I thought all the activity was broadcast on the control channel of the tower, or am I missing something here?
