Cherry Hill Township

[ampulman]

Looks like C. H. Twp may have gone totally Provoice today.

Listened for over an hour with total silence. Went to switch systems when suddenly the speaker crackled. It was an I-Call requesting that the unit come in to discuss schedule.

Speaking of silence, Camden City Police/Public Wks, while not totally silent, has had very little traffic today with limited talkgroups.

Not to worry, John. It's 9:00 P.M., and I just turned my scanner on, selected C.H. Pol. and what do you know? They're back on.

Go figure!

I was monitoring Cherry Hill last night during the chase that was on the news and I heard everything. Camden was coming in loud and clear also. I'll give it a listen on the way home to be sure.

Well, since this last post, I have been dropping in on C. H. from time to time and listening for a half hour or so, with little or no activity. No routine dispatch, mostly Public Works, who are also using I-Call. Rarely, I will hear a brief (seconds) transmission on CHPD-1 or 2, which ends before I pick up the scanner to listen.

I drive through cherry hill every day. I hear all the regular police activity as normal. I did hears some police activity on a I-call yesterday while in the area. Everything seems normal with the system on my end.

Well, all I seem to hear is Public Works--a bunch of jokers if you ask me. Don't want to repeat one conversation.

Listened this afternoon for about an hour. When I cut out PW, my scanner just sits there quietly.

Could this be a case of 'random' switching to ProVoice? (See post in general trunking forum re: Random Encryption read Pennsauken)

I monitor them regularly from my home also and all is normal with the Cherry hill system from what I can tell. I had them on all night last night. I hear all police units fine on CH1 and CH2 and numerous I -calls throughout the evening. Its strange you can't hear them.

Well, that's it. I'm going to get to the bottom of this. Something is wrong here. I decided to check things out. After a search of system settings, lo and behold, I found that CH-PD1 had been locked out.

I know that I didn't lock it out. A quick call to my nephew, who had visited a few weeks back, and had 'played' with my 396, sheepishly acknowledged that he 'might have accidentally touched something' as the radio seemed to get kind of quiet after that.

Anyway, they're baaaaaack. Sorry for any angst I might have caused.
