WS1065 Berrien county issues

[gsoper]

Hello,

I have no idea on what im doing wrong, Ive entered the frequencies for the sites near me, duplicated them for different talk-groups, put them in scan list 1, but im getting no actual rx audio, some blips and static/data noise but no actual radio traffic. Anyone have an idea on what im doing wrong? This whole thing is new to me. Also with Berrien going simulcast, is that going to be a problem?

Thanks!

Heres what ive done so far

I don't have any Whistler scanners but have passed the link to this thread on to a buddy who does.

I only see one talkgroup with TGID 1 which doesn't match anything in Berrien County.

Yes, it will likely be a problem if you're within range of two or more towers on the simulcast. Feel free to try the multipath mitigation methods outlined here, you may or may not have success. The Uniden SDS100 & SDS200 were designed with simulcast multipath in mind

There are a number of single-cell sites in Berrien County. Are any of these near you & if so, do they carry traffic you're interested in?

Sumnerville​	Berrien​
Coloma​	Berrien​
Sawyer​	Berrien​
Watervliet​	Berrien​
Grand Beach​	Berrien​
St. Joseph​	Berrien​

All of the single-cell sites you listed above, with the exception of Watervliet have just been migrated to simulcast, with Watervliet changing in Q1 of 2025.

OP only has the frequencies for the Simulcast site so that should be OK. Yes, simulcast distortion can be a problem.
