EDACS

Sorry if already discussed, but I cannot find it. EDACS on sds 100 isn't coming in at all. I know sds100 doesn't do a great job on analog, but nothing at all is hard to believe. Not sure of any settings I can tweak to improve reception. Looking to listen to HARTLINK HArtford County in Connecticut. There are 14 channels and all channels are in LCN order. Control channel is 854.0125. I'm using 820s antenna and I also tried remtronix 842 tri band antenna.

Control channel is 854.0125.

That's correct.

I'm hearing them fine right now.

Everything you receive are analog, and then there's an additional step to convert the received audio into digital ones and zeros so that the DSP can use the info. So if anything it should be worse at digital.

Stop scan by the Channel button and enter the CC frequency followed by the Channel button. You then hear what kind of reception you have and if you have a display field to indicate signal strength it should show -100dBm or stronger. Go to menu and then Srch/CloCall Opt and select Set Filter and try one of them and back up to the listening mode by pushing Menu several times. Also try Function+7 to toggle IFX on and try the different filters once more.

Hopefully one of the settings will give the clearest signal and the scanner will then switch to digital mode. One display field can be configured to show d-error, digital error bits, that should be 5 or lower for a good reception.

It could also be that you just are in a bad spot where reception are difficult.

So did you program via sentinel or manually somehow? Sorry I downloaded from database on sentinel. How did you program it? Sorry if silly questions

You say there are 14 frequencies. Doc's post shows 16 frequencies. It sounds like you are missing 2 frequencies. EDIT: The database only shows 14 frequencies.

I added the other 2. Never saw the other 2 prior to today. Took my scanner into attic and heard some transmissions. Tomorrow I work closer to hatford and I'll give it a test
