    BCD396XT/BCD996XT: Motorboating on analog frequency? Didn't know it could...

    Well, been more than a couple days. I did talk to the tribal IT/Tech I had in mind and I was right, it was a "malfunction of their broadcast equipment" according to this person. I guess any of their mobiles (PD,EMS) were receiving the same sound pattern and fade in/out I was. It has since been...

    I think I have it all figured out - what happened, and why. I need to talk to someone I know who deals with the tribal IT/Tech building and see if my theory is correct. If so, it'll be the first time I've ever heard of such a thing... will be back with the information in a couple days if I'm right

    Both are good points, and something I'll look into today.

    I have a setup I made just for doing things like that while off-grid. I will try it for this purpose and let you know

    I'll try that. No simulcast. Only simulcast nearby is in the 800's and a totally different agency. Honestly their stuff isn't that advanced, I mean, heck, the reservation just got fiber trunk for digital anything online a year ago.

    Officially it is labeled dispatch however it's police primary as well. as is 155.085 and a few more not listed via RR. I think it depends greatly on which district they're aiming for (CCT has four) and more particularly, which unit/division within it.

    Not using CTCSS or other similar squelch method, and the front knob is only set to 1.

    BCD396XT/BCD996XT: Motorboating on analog frequency? Didn't know it could...

    It may be worth noting I suppose that the CCT (what they call themselves in official means for public safety and other official matters) tribal frequencies I receive are the only ones that are not via repeater or direct line of sight. There are no power stations or major RFI/EMI sources between...

    Actually you're spot-on. I wrangle a lot of things at once, I'm sorry if I'm not always precise. Two regional fire watch groups with tens of thousands of members between them gets tricky fast, 4 kids at home and the usual day to day stuff occupies too much brain capacity I suppose

    Sorry, I'm doing many things at once and not able to clarify quickly. Correct in that it is Colville Confederated Tribes Tribal. I was unaware that specific location was needed.

    Yes, thrumming and a sound like it's underwater (reference, the sounds a go-pro or similar action cam pick up while submerged) at weaker reception levels. I did manage to get the situation to repeat on other rigs but not on other frequencies. Probably tried 3 or 4 times, with different methods...

    Thank you, I tried that. It did help some switching to another, however the effect is still there on one frequency. I'm beginning to suspect it's something on the broadcast end. I just... can't prove it.

    BCD396XT/BCD996XT: Motorboating on analog frequency? Didn't know it could...

    I'm very familiar with motorboating on digital frequencies (mostly with my SDR stuff) but a known NFM frequency for tribal police (my general area) has pronounced 'motorboating' on that frequency, and the dispatch that goes along with it, UNLESS signal is over 75%. There's a slight delay, then...

    Broadcastify Raspberry Pi Feed Appliance Image v1.0 (BETA)

    Not quite sure what went wrong, but I re-flashed, and let it run for a couple minutes and eventually the desktop showed unlike the first attempt. Being a new image (to me) I figured it would be fine... for now :) And yes, I do have a hardware firewall, but I made sure to disable until I had the...

    Broadcastify Raspberry Pi Feed Appliance Image v1.0 (BETA)

    unfortunately with my rpi4, 4gb model, this img simply boot loops upon initial startup. initial boot is fine, however once the desktop should begin to load, the device resets. tested for hardware failure with other OS and pi runs fine. suggestions? **EDIT - I did manage to fix this on my own...
