Attempting to scan Palmetto 800 system in York county SC with Uniden Home Patrol 1 (extreme). Upon completion of entering 800 system and attempting to scan, no activity can be heard (scanned for several hours w/multiple TG's programmed). Using the system analyzer built into the HP1, it shows no signal on any of the control channel frequencies. Deleted system from scanner and entered system manually. Same results. Scanner is currently monitoring two P25 systems and 2 analog standard systems; no problems there. One system is two counties over; distance and signal issues ruled out. Tagged control channels of various systems into older trunk scanner with positive results for data signals; All system frequencies had data activity with the exception of the frequencies listed in the Palmetto 800 section of RR.
Am I missing something? Shouldn't I be able to at least hear the control channel data signal upon entering the frequency into older scanner? I am familiar with programming 800 systems into my scanner. Is there something special you must do when entering a system like Palmetto 800. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
