Is it just me, or is RISCON out this morning? I'm getting nothing.

What make & model scanner? What site(s) ?

 

[Stewj]

I'm receiving on both North, South, and Metro right now (1054 Hrs.)

RISCON working fine for me. I mostly listen to the East zone

BCD996P2. I only listen to Metro.

No issues here listening to all 4 zones.

This is too weird. Everything just stopped. WX is coming in ok. CC is working.

No issues here listening to all 4 zones.

I forgot to mention that my scanner is now scanning twice as fast as normal.

 

[frankie811]

Crazy thing. All of a sudden my scanner went back to normal.

All 4 zones working properly no problems since 0800 this morning BTW Pawtucket fire is now operating full time on RISCON

RISCON is a very robust system. Multiple towers, zones, etc. It would take something incredible to actually take the whole system down.

Do you have all three of the control channel capable frequencies programmed for the Metro site? System may have switched to an alternate frequency.

do you mean SITE Trunk or Failsoft ??

I've never heard/seen a system with System Trunk ?

Site trunk = the traffic is only avail on that one site and is generally a Site Only failure
Failsoft = major issues at the controler(s) and there would be many scannists complaining vs the current few who are likely missing a Control Channel or two

Bill, that's

"system truck"

Something only Hummin24's magical special receiver can do.
No one else can see this non existent mode except for him.

Yes sorry SITE trunk a few times. I have seen a complete failure once in my last 15 years and all riscon radios were out for about 15 minutes. It went out over intercity.
