BCD325P2/BCD996P2: Clipping at the beginning of a brodcast

[rogerd1944]

I have noticed that at the beginning of a broadcast the first few words are clipped out.Is this something I can correct ? This is the BCD996P2 which in new to me.

I know I am not the only one with this problem. I also know this problem is apparently beyond the scope of Uniden's ability to fix. Nevertheless, I'll add my voice to the issue. I am unable to hear the beginnings of ANY P25 transmissions. Analog is fine. Additionally, sometimes in the midst of a...

I live in Connecticut and quinebeaug emergency communications is my dispatch area QV seems to happen on 33.80 and 33.90 frequency

I live in CT and use a 996p2.

Try holding on the frequency and see if it happens.

You may be scanning too many systems or have delay and hold times set too long.

Good luck 👍

The important thing to know are if you can see on the display that the scanner actually stops on the frequency and then it takes a while until you hear the audio? Then it can be a setting, digital delay, priority or something like that, that interferes. Turn off all prio settings and closecall and see if that helps and set digital delay to 0.

It needs to be on the frequency when a transmission starts or you will miss the first part until the scanner have reached the frequency in its scan cycle and unmutes the audio.

Thank you all for the input. Much appreciated

What programming software are you using? If it is a digital talkgroup or conventional frequency, set the audio type to Digital instead of Any. The scanner will not need to waste time deciding what it is. Likewise, set the audio type to analog if that is what it is.

i don't know if he fixed it or gave up.

Using both digital and analog.Seems to happen on analog broardcast

In that case, set the audio type to analog for analog frequencies or talkgroups.

 

[rogerd1944]

Ok thank you!

 

[rogerd1944]

Menu (audio type) (analog) enter? In that order?

 

[rogerd1944]

This type of scanner is very new to me.How do I get to audio type in the menu?

 

[tvengr]

Is this for 33.80 and 33.90? Did you enter the frequencies in the Qck Save Cnv Sys or did you create a conventional system to put the frequencies into? If you created a conventional system, what is its name? For those frequencies: Set Audio Type should be Analog Only. Set Modulation should be FM. When you select Analog Only, it will allow you to enter a PL tone. Select CTCSS and and 179.9. Low band frequencies can be susceptible to noise. With the PL tone, you can lower the squelch level. You will not hear any noise with the squelch wide open when using a PL tone. I see the frequencies in the database.

 

[wtp]

how many frequencies/systems ae you listening to when this happens ?

 

[rogerd1944]

Ok The place where I purchased it set it up for me put in what I wanted to here for now.All of quinebeaug emergency communications QV. Conn State police troop E& D. 33.80and 33.90. I miss the beginning of the broadcast.

 

[tvengr]

Are you able to receive state police? Check my previous post for information you may have missed. I edited some additions that you may not have seen. Refresh the forums and check.

 

[doctordialtone]

I don't have any problems on my 996p2 in ct so it must be the way it's programmed.

 

[rogerd1944]

Yes I receive state police.How do I get to audio type to make changes

 

[rogerd1944]

Only missing beginning on 33.80 and 33.90
