Larimer county DTRS issues

[jeffreyinberthoud]

I know this is (somewhat) a 396 question but here is a list of sites and the cc for those sites I also have pvh and a few other locals however these are the ones Im hearing best

in this order


0868.26250 buckhorn 313
0868.85000 squaw 106
0868.77500 lookout
0868.98750 mead
0868.91250 riley 102
0868.31250 greeley
0868.63750 bald mnt


so now the question when I hold on system and manually go to these freqs I see multiple TGID's I assume this is whom is using that site at that time? if yes
so why cant I hear them wile scanning do I need to increase my hold time for system its at 3 seconds now


any help would be great BTW I get arapahoe jeffco adams areas just fine and I can not (hear horsetooth 3 bars very well)rest of these are 5 bars

Jeffrey,
Do you have your scanner in search or scan mode? While listening to a system, you can press the scan button twice to switch between the two modes. When you are in scan mode, you will only hear the talkgroups that are programmed in for that system. While in the search mode, you will hear all activity on the control channel that you are currently monitoring. Hope this helps!

Keep in mind that the 396 will only latch on to the first CC it hears, no matter how strong or weak the signal. So, if you are scanning up (up pointing arrow on the right side of the display), it will start with the first programmed CC and scan up until it finds one. So, you will really only be listening to that first CC. If you scan down, it will look at the CC's in reverse order. If you are in search mode, you should hear the TG's that are displayed while holding on the CC.

I think he's asking about when he goes out of trunked mode and into conventional and monitors the control channel. The answer is yes - it is a repeating scroll of what talk groups have a call in-progress on that site. They are not appearing and disappearing as calls start and end, but rather are being scrolled through one at a time. They seem to change about every second. To hear those talk groups - as others are mentioning - you will want to take the radio out of talk group scan mode and go into talk group search mode. Then you will hear any talk group that comes across the site. In search mode, you may actually want to decrease your scan hold time if you're wanting to hear the most from the site.

Jeffrey,
Do you have each site/CCh in individual systems, or all in one system? If all in one System, just as stated, the first active CCh will be used. If each are in individual Systems, each CCh will be evaluated.
