I'm using a BCT15X and in one system, I have just 1 frequency programmed for CHP. So it's not actually scanning. I even press the hold button when I get a hit - though in theory it should not matter.
In either case (pressing hold or not), I still miss parts of conversations. That is, the first part. I might be getting crystal clear reception from both dispatch and patrol unit, but I get misses on the front end of the replies, as if it were still internally scanning for something else. I'm not sure what the radio is doing, but it should be parked on that channel.
The only other thing that comes to mind is that CHP uses repeaters, and perhaps it is getting messed up when the reply comes over a different repeater. Not sure there is anything I can do about it, or is there something I could do with setting HOLD and or DELAY times? Maybe set both to 10 seconds?
I am in experimentation mode now, but thought I'd see if anyone has an idea.
