    WS1040: P25 Phase 1 noise

    I sent a message to Whistler tech support for ideas. They are out for the holiday's until Tuesday, so they won't be able to help me until next week. Still open to suggestions. I'll keep trying different things. Thanks for all the help so far!

    WS1040: P25 Phase 1 noise

    I have 2 systems programmed and both are exhibiting the same thing. Ohio MARCS-IP P25 Austintown/Boardman P25 Both Phase 1 800 MHz bands My conventional channels are clear. If it's a simple setting, I can't find it.

    WS1040: P25 Phase 1 noise

    I'm attaching an audio file (m4a/iPhone, the mp3 was too big) of what I'm hearing on the P25's. Conventional is clear. Maybe someone has an idea after listening? Would Whistler tech support be able to help? Thanks.

    WS1040: P25 Phase 1 noise

    The only encryption is Boardman PD on the Austintown/Boardman system. I can hear the other traffic, but it's noisy like an old scanner. Hard to describe, but it's like data and voice are mixed. I think I need all the freq's in my BCD325, but good to know I only need the control channels on...

    WS1040: P25 Phase 1 noise

    Thanks for the file. I still have the noise during transmissions. I'm sitting in the heart of the 1 system right now. I'm actually not seeing any difference in the file you made and the one I had other than you only downloaded the control channels, I had all the channels.

    WS1040: P25 Phase 1 noise

    Good Afternoon Forum, I did a search but did not find an answer. I just acquired a WS1040. I'm trying to program 2 P25 Phase 1 systems into the scanner (there are no Phase 2 systems in my area). I used both PSREdit500 and win500 to program the objects and I get the same results. When...

    Losing control channel/not hearing all traffic?

    Another test/issue Just for giggles, I put in a 2nd system consisting of 3 active conventional frequencies. So, the scanner is programmed with 1 P25 system w/2 sites, and 1 conventional w/3 channels My Pro98 is broadcasting traffic and the BCD325P2 is still scanning (no traffic). Placed the...

    Losing control channel/not hearing all traffic?

    Feed provider has not yet responded. I sent a message a couple weeks ago. I have also sent a message to a scanner friend of mine (today) to see if he knows who the provider is. He may be someone not online all the time and may be able to get an alternate contact method. There was a big...

    Losing control channel/not hearing all traffic?

    The system isn't new, it's been active for a couple years. It replaced an aging 800 trunk system that was failing. They are adding new talkgroups for the county PD traffic that is moving from the old/antiquated VHF repeater system (the traffic from the depts that have moved to date is 1000%...

    Losing control channel/not hearing all traffic?

    No "Finding control channel" when I hit the hold button. Both sites listed in the FCC database are showing the same frequencies and information (Type FB2). RR only lists the one site, though. The ONLY difference I see is the Lat/Lon, which I don't see the scanner taking advantage of: WNPK739...

    Losing control channel/not hearing all traffic?

    Hi Forum. I'm trying to determine if I purchased a bad 325P2 or it's a programming issue. I purchased a 996P2 at the same time and had to send it back. I have only 1 P25 system programmed (nothing else but the 1 system) as our local PD will be converting to a local P25 system from...

    BCD325P2/BCD996P2: No Signal?

    Right now, it appears to be working. I still think there is an antenna connection problem with the BNC jack. TGP, did it do it once or every now and then. I want to install it in my dash to replace my GRE400 (which is fine, just no digital), so I want to make sure I won't have any issues...

    BCD325P2/BCD996P2: No Signal?

    I just bought both a BCD325P2 & BCD996P2. I programmed both with FreeScan. The 325 is receiving fine, but the 996 is like there is no antenna connected. I have both scanners on side by side, along with a GRE handheld (my existing handheld), and the scan only stops on the 325 when my GRE...

    Boardman, OH P.D.

    Dave, Boardman PD is now using an APCO-25 Digital system. They combined radio systems with Austintown PD a few months ago. You won't be able to hear on a conventional scanner. I do not know if they are simulcasting on old freqs as I don't scan them. If you have a digital scanner, the new...

    My live feed is showing offline for 8+ hours .But yet it is streaming and working ?

    I, too, am also getting offline messages. This is what I'm seeing if it will help you nail down the problem: 1. What my Oddcast is showing is that I'm connected, however, no dB bars are showing. 2. On the Ohio Mahoning County webpage, I click on my stream, it will not connect/no audio. It...
