Interesting problem. Its very possible that its operator error but I can't seem to figure it out.
I have a Pro-96 and a PSR-500. I have the same trunking system programmed on both (Nashville, TN Metro PD and Fire). When I first turn on the PSR, it scans very well. After about 15 to 20 minutes, it will stop receiving any transmissions. It still shows "scanning" and that it's connected to the control channel with full signal on the LCD display, but never stops on anything.
I started to wonder because I'll have times where no radio transmissions will come through for very long periods (45 minutes to an hour). If I press any of the buttons on the front, like "man" and then start scanning again, it will instantly start picking up traffic. It will also do this if I'm holding on a channel. as soon as I change the channel and go back to the original, it will pick it up again.
I usually never monitor both scanners at the same time but started to wonder when I wasn't receiving anything on the PSR. Having them both on at the same time and on the same channel, the pro-96 will continue to pick up the active channels while the PSR shows scanning.
Has anyone come across this? Thanks in advance for your help.
