I have a Uniden BCD436HP handheld scanner, which includes support for P25 Phase II and P25 X-2 TDMA operation.
I have downloaded the Sentinel software and updated the frequency database of the scanner. My question is related to acquiring P25 Phase I and Phase II signals. I am in Shelby County (near Columbiana), and cannot seem to locate any trunked signals with the radio. I'm getting virtually every analog signal that I can get on an older model analog scanner, but not receiving anything in the digital spectrum. Am I doing something wrong here? Also, does anyone happen to know if the Shelby County Sheriff's Department frequencies are encrypted?
Thanks in advance!
David
