BCD536HP and Vanderburgh Co P25

[K9HX]

I have a BCD536HP that is not picking up traffic from the Vanderburgh CO Harris P25 system. I have done a firmware update within the last two weeks, but still nothing. Looking for any ideas. Not new to scanners, but new to this one. Thanks!

If it is the following system then it is a P25 "Simulcast" system.

You are probably experiencing Simulcast distortion. Here is more information.

Are you trying from Clay City? OK I admit I never heard of Clay City, so how far is that from Evansville?

 

[K9HX]

Clay City is about 100 air miles from Vanderburgh County. I live there, the scanner lives on the west side of Evansville.

You might double-check to see if the correct services are enabled.

Some folks forget to add the site frequencies. Or they assign quick keys and don't enable them.

If it were distorted he wouldn't say he was getting nothing. I have a 536 scanning this system and it's fine. Try www.EvansvilleScanner.webhop.me:5007 to check it out.

And to compare those to the Unication G5 try http://scannerfeed.asuscomm.com:10000/ although mine is only Police/Sheriff. You'll hear distinct pops before and after traffic. That's thanks to the amplified charger that is necessary to get audio to the server. G5 is not recommended for streaming!

Just picked up a G5 last week and find the software is not too user friendly,...for me anyway. I know people on here have these
and was wondering if someone could help me out with the software or just program for me whichever is easier. I don't mind paying
for the help, but can't pay much as I'm on a fixed income my funds are limited. Been out of scanning for a while as my older radios went silent and just trying to get scanning again. any help would be appreciated.

Thanks to Jeff at the Ham Station I'm back up scanning again. He updated the firmware and loaded
up all the freqs that I needed on my unication G5.
I suggest anyone who is having trouble with their scanners or pagers to get a hold of him. Very knowledgeable.
Thanks Jeff
