I am having trouble hearing much of anything in Huron County on the P25 system. I get VHF stuff from there no problem.
This is what my SDS200 list looks like.

I do not see anything encrypted. I do not use location hence only the two Huron county towers.
But not sure what the Huron County (Project25) system is, and has a single Simulcast site listed
I could be too far out (Southern Sanilac County) but I don't think so.

Huron MPSCS is more-less fallback for interop with MPSCS agencies, rarely ever gets used, since they are on their own digital system here->
Go to in Sentinel, Huron County, county systems, Huron County (Project 25) Public Safety Radio System.

Setup a favorites list for the following, been heard, we dont know who-what they are. Also set Huron for ID search always since its own system, will pickup any other ones they use we havent heard on their system.

This is the only thing I have picked up from Huron County.
Strange they would abandon the state system

Just for fun I made a Fav with just Their County P25 system.
I see it looping through the 4 control Freq, and I am getting a 1-2 bars of signal, but have not heard anything.
Will let it run over night and have Proscan log it.

These guys must be using cell phones or CB radio....LOL
Since 9:00PM till now 10:30 AM this is the only traffic logged. The duration was short so I would say interference and not a true transmission.

Southern Sanilac County might be too far away as you indicated. The only tower on the Huron County system that is south of M-142 is near Sebewaing on the west coast of Huron County. What kind of antenna are you using?

I have a discone up about 35' I get 1-2 bars of signal strength on my SDS200
These are the hit I have gotten, but only ever hear anything on the 152.0075 VHF. I have been monitoring just their P25 system and the state P25 system.
Makes me wonder if they are using MDT's and cell phones.

The Huron County trunking system has changed since the last time I listened to them and they didn't seem to be using MDTs but I have no way of knowing that for sure. The last time I took a scanner with me to Bad Axe I had 3 sites programmed in; Bad Axe, Elkton, and Halfway Corners; but now I see they are a 1 site simulcast system. As far as antennas go my guess is that you are too far away for an omnidirectional antenna. Since you can receive some traffic with the Discone I would think a directional antenna (Yagi) could help quite a bit.

Huron County switches between control and alternate channels. You will need all the control and alternate channels.
These are also used for fire and EMS paging.

854.0125 a
854.3375 a
854.7625 a
855.3375 c
856.1125 a ( They're using this one today )
853.5875 a
853.8375 c
853.4875 a
853.9875 c

Huron being a site neighbor with Tuscola County, also uses the Tuscola County control channels when working the south, west corner of the county. Won't hurt to have Tuscola control channels in.

853.9625 c
853.550 a

Are these to be placed into the Huron County P25 list? Some of them are in the Michigan MPSCS list

Yes, they use the Huron County P25 as well as the Michigan MPSCS control channels. And they will use the alternate control channels often enough, so it's good to have them in your system.

Yes, I have been scanning both systems, and have all those control Frequencies in place.
I am in the South Eastern part of Sanilac county, I may be just too far out. I have scanned Huron County for several days straight and ony hits were on the old VHF. Funny I hear Tuscola county just fine.

Not sure how Sanilac is set up. I can listen to Tuscola County, but I never get anything from Sanilac. And I agree with you, thinking you might be too far away from our towers.

I am just NOT hearing anything on the Huron County P25 system or the Michigan P25 system
Only thing I ever hear is the 152.0075 Vhf.
I feel I should hear something, I see some signal (SDS200) when it is checking the control signals.
May grab my HP1 and drive up to Huron county just to make sure I have it programmed correctly.
