I am literally at my wits end. I have a p7100 I have downgraded for use with programmer r20c. I did have an issue with the feature data but that has been resolved. I have programmed a p25 trunked system into the radio with 2 channels for testing. All I get is a CC Scan, which after reading up on the radio is not able to get a lock on the control channel.
So I did some testing to see if the radio can actually pick anything up by programming the frequencies themselves(p25 conv) aside the cc into a scan list and it picked up traffic very well. So next I made a single system with just the control channel itself to get the rssi/dbm levels. Right now its at -46 to -60 dmb with a RSSI of 45-49.
The help file, is really not to helpful on much except general information. Is there a specific threshold where the radio will get a lock on the cc? When I was looking at the tracking data the RSSI numbers are a bit misleading as listed below.
Strong 60 112 114 115 116 112
Mid 85 83 85 86 85 84
Weak 110 47 51 50 49 50
I know those settings are for the individual test channels, but they really do not make much sense to me. How could a strong signal be at 60, but along those different frequencies be higher, but at the weak be lower. Or am I missing something here. I actually switched the values of strong and weak for the test channels to see if that would change anything but it did not.
I am thinking this is an alignment issue, but at the same time I am getting a good signal from the cc. There is a EDACS system within 2 miles of me and I get the same issues of no cc lock. i am thinking its alignment, config on the trunk systems or an issue with the firmware.
Any help would be appreciated.
