Onondaga County assistance

[N2RGU]

Hi ya, just registered yesterday, and I'm using the Home Patrol II that I picked up. I imported the file into my favorites, made sure both the monitor and download were on. I am receiving signals via the antenna, but nothing is showing up and I'm not hearing anything. I think I'm missing a step somewhere. Onondaga County is using P25 Phase 2 so this scanner should be picking them up. Any suggestions would be great!

Welcome to the RR forums. You're likely facing simulcast distortion depending on where you are in relation to two or more towers on the Onondaga Simulcast. Feel free to try the multipath mitigation steps in the wiki linked below but ultimately you'd be better off with a Uniden SDS100 or SDS200 to track simulcast systems.

Simulcast will definitely be a major issue for that scanner. One thing to check in your programming is to only monitor the Onondaga site and not try to scan the entire CNYICC system.
