I can still get Aurora from my house via the Summit simulcast so it's all good, folks. It's just a weird issue but I appreciate everyone's input!

Nope

Oh wow that's pretty cool. I was in Richfield this afternoon and listening to PCSO on the summit site. Never knew they were on the simulcast before so I learned something useful!

I'm actually already using the Remtronix 820 (nice antenna) on the SDS100 and a Diamond D130J 30' up on the 200. I did go mobile this afternoon and took both the SDS radios with me. Once I got about 1-2 miles north of my house towards Shalersville, I started receiving the Shalersville tower (and...

Yep

No I totally understand about the control frequencies rotating and did have all the capable frequencies listed in each respective site, but I was troubleshooting and forgot to put them back in, but still have the same issue when they are all in there anyway. The Whistler only has the three...

I never used the summit simulcast on my Portage list until trying to troubleshoot this Aurora issue, but I did notice I get PCSO, Streetsboro/Windham, and a few others via the summit simulcast but yeah, there is quite a lot going on that's not in the simulcast. At least now I know I can still...

Here is a dropbox link to the SDS folder. The SDS200 fav list in question is "Portage Marcs 2." Not sure how to get the info for the Whistler as I programmed that one manually. BCDx36HP

But how can it be lack of radios affiliating with the Portage county sites when my Whistler picks up Aurora all day long on the portage county sites when the SDS will not?

Ok, just a follow up: Turns out tonight for the first time in three days, I was indeed getting Aurora via the Portage sites on the SDS200 from my house, albeit intermittently (squelch on 2 or 0 made no difference). I think it literally does depend on which way the wind is blowing! Still not...

Squelch is normally at 2, no difference at 0. I put the Portage freqs back into their own individual sites and removed the summit site just to check it all again. It's definitive: Neither my SDS100 nor the SDS200 will receive Aurora on the portage county sites (specifically Shalersville 20)...

RIGHT, and I did have all three portage county frequencies in their own sites initially, but even side by side at the same time, the SDS200 wouldn't receive Aurora (via portage sites) when the WS1065 would. Don't know why. I will try removing the summit site and put the portage freqs back into...

Right, they are not simulcast and I did have each portage county control frequency in its own site initially but for whatever reason, I just can't receive Aurora on the SDS200 except via the summit county site. Unless they weren't on the shalersville site the last few days for some reason? I...

Yes, I have the three Portage County control frequencies in one site and the Summit one in a second site all within my Portage County favorite list. That way it will still scan the summit freq (for Aurora only), otherwise if all four are in the same site it will just stay on the strongest RSSI...

I just have the three Portage County sites and the Summit site 858.51250 (for Aurora PD/Fire) in my fav list for Portage County and now I receive all portage county including Aurora in my Portage county fav list. (I don't do anything with tables or spacing). I have other Fav lists dedicated...

Well that would make sense except that with my radios side by side, I am able to receive Aurora via the Portage county sites on my WS1065 but not on the SDS200/100 unless via Summit county site. I dunno....

Ok, so I’m trying to understand something: I live in Rootstown in Portage County and neither my SDS200 nor SDS100 will receive Aurora PD/Fire via the Portage County MARCS sites (with either a roof mounted discone or indoor antenna). Correct service types are enabled and proper control channels...

This is NOT a rant, just a question: Has anyone heard anything about the Portage County SO going encrypted? I've heard multiple times today SO radio traffic advising certain units to be sure to take their mobile and portable radios in to get encrypted. I don't know if maybe these are just new...

I'm trying to understand this. Did this work because each of the five sites has it's own control channel but with all CCs in the same new site, it only locks on to the first one it finds? I have a simulcast P25 system with 6 or 7 towers but only one active control channel for all so I can't lock...

Will do. Hopefully it works.
