Have not heard a peep on PW all day. I did confirm what you stated for NAC's for PD and FD. Hopefully next week I can try to gather the PW NAC data.
Yea like 15 times the other night when they were testing the "New" pagers LOL
Driving to work this am I heard the FD get toned out for a rollover on route 15S.
I have this programmed in.

Hi all, first time poster. I have a uniden trunktracker iv and woodbridge was coming in fine until the last month or so. i thought it was my scanner so i just bought a bcd436hp and same issue applies, i just found this thread and it appears because woodbridge switched to digital. the trunktracker iv seems to pick up PD all staticky with my original analog frequency, however i switched it to p25 and i can't seem to pick it up, can someone help me with the correct settings for either the trunktracker iv or the bcd436hp. for the bcd436h, i modified the original default database frequency (from 2018) and switched it to digital and the nac to 131, however when it is scanning, it shows up as NFM DCS131 which doesn't seem right (i know it isn't because it isn't picking it up). any help would be most appreciated!!!
First try changing the NAC 131 to DPL 131, or turn the PL/DPL/NAC off altogether. You don’t need it to receive the frequency (never mind the why if it right now, first let’s get a signal you can hear, then we can try adding a PL to it). But if you see the scanner displaying a type of PL, the scanner isn’t lying to you… if it sees NFM (Narrow frequency Modulation) with a digital PL code (DPL) of 131, take it as gospel.
Thanks so much n1chu, here is what I have done on the trunktracker iv:
Program System - Edit System -> Edit Group - Selected Woodbridge PD -> Edit Woodbridge PD Channel:
Here are the settings:
CTCSS/DCS -> Off
Modulation -> Auto
Attenuator -> Off
With these settings, when holding on the Woodbridge PD channel, I do hear static on transmissions, so it is picking up static when they are transmitting, so it is picking up something. It also displays "LNK" and "P25" during these times it picks up.
Any further suggestions? Thank you so much again!

If you have the capability to let the software program the scanner I’d do that. The days of manually programming are gone… too much is required to be entered without making a mistake.
i looked and none of channels look like p25 in radio reference. link and p25 make it sound like the channels are p25. if police is p25 maybe the listing is wrong? its definately a NAC for p25 and you shouldnt hear any static on digital. thats for analog.

The NAC is 131. I have that programmed into several pieces of equipment. Looks like the NAC info was erased from the data base. It was in there last week.
The NAC, PL or DPL are NOT the problem. Ignore them-DO NOT USE THEM, initially. First, get the scanner to sound like it’s supposed to without them. THEN you can add all the NAC’s, PL’s or DPL’s you desire.
The issue is not the PL’s, but rather the possible mis-use of them. They do not enhance reception, they are designed to discriminate against any transmissions on the same frequency that do not possess the same PL code.

I live really close to that area. I have verified NAC 131. Their license is rather different. Look it up. Their radio service company has followed the license requirements. I know the area very well. My wife and yours truly have our weekly lunch near a Woodbridge town transmitter. Matzo soup and pastrami sandwich. I love spending the time with my wife. She supports me. She is a high school teacher. Kids that want to learn, we are there .

This info was never erased, it was never entered into the DB. No one submitted it to be changed. The OP should've done that but didn't.
If someone wants to submit it, I'll change it.
