I was in Macon today, and didn't hear anything on the "new" Macon/Bibb county system.

Has something changed recently?

Thank you for any helpful input

So the whole radio system, every user also, went to "Phase two" within the past couple of months, and nothing has been posted here about that?

I knew there were some TG's going to Phase2 on that system, but I went from hearing all kinds of traffic a couple of months ago on it, to not hearing anything at all on the whole system for about 2 hours, no noise, nothing.

I would think there would be a little more to it than that...

I don't see how guessing will "help find anything out" ...I predict those who know this system better than I do will eventually chime in and tell me what's up (if there was a recent change, of if I'm simply doing something wrong)

You could very well be right, but I would much rather have someone who knows what is going on comment on this. Hell, I can guess all day and night by myself.

I do look forward to their replies, and I can wait.....

I'm not sure why you aren't able to receive anything from Macon/Bibb. I reside in Houston County and I can hear Macon/Bibb just fine. And I am currently using a RS Pro-106 which will not pick up Phase 2.
Of course, i don't pick up everything due to parts of Macon/Bibb being on Phase 2 but i do still pick them up daily.

Hello,

Thank you so much for the reply.

It was an embarrassing error on my part.

What the hell, the antenna had pulled out of the crimp behind the radio. :)

Off topic, but not too much, but Peach county and Ft. Valley is still heavily using their VHF NXDN radio system (Encrypted)

Yeah, I'm hearing very, very little from Peach County/Byron/Ft. Valley.

Also, it's good to hear that you figured out the problem on receiving Macon/Bibb.

Peach County, Byron and Ft Valley law enforcement are using NXDN. All you will hear is static when they transmit.

I'm actually still randomly picking up Byron PD and Byron FD on their conventional frequencies. I picked up Byron PD this morning, actually. But yes, for the majority, they're using their NXDN.
