Last Friday, while passing through Atlanta enroute to Alabama, I switched on the Quick Key for one of the P25 trunked systems (DeKalb Co Fire) I have programmed in my 996P2. NOTHING! Not even receiving the active control channel! Next, I tried the Atlanta Fire P25 system - same thing - NOTHING! Once I got to my destination, the Alabama First Responder Network (AFRN) in Opelika, AL came in loud and clear.
I tried all my programmed P25 trunked systems in the Metro Atlanta area and couldn't receive anything. Not even the active control channel on each system. I've checked every system for the obvious - lockouts, correct control channels, everything I can think of! And I've been doing this for 40 years even though I know sometimes it's not how experienced you are because it's typically something obvious I've overlooked. BTW, I used FreeScan to program the systems. May switch over and try using ProScan.
Anybody got a suggestion?
