control channel

I have two systems that I have downloaded from the RR library, both P25, Phase I, that just do not seem to work for me. Everything is there, including all the freq's, control channel, talkgroups, but when I scan nothing happens and if I hold on a talkgroup, it always says "Finding Control...

I got a Close Call this morning on 163.5125 MHz. Saved the freq and had 40 or so hits afterwards. Half were P25 and the other half were encrypted. The transmissions I heard definitely sounded like VSP. The freq did not show up searching the database. I am in east Fauquier Co. I am using a...

Where would I find the correct system for Belleville & Van Buren Twp., MI., I have found the TG, but i cannot heard any activity. is the control channel 853.3000 in MPSCS /Wayne County Simulcast correct ?

Hi all. I have found C_COUT hole on my scanner's motherboard 436HP, but I don't know how I can decrypt this signal. Which program should I use? And how I need connect this to my PC? Thanks all.

I programmed in the correct rebanded frequency of 853.95. The frequency on the display in scan mode is 853.9625, for some reason, and I'm not receiving any transmissions at all. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure if it's an issue with the scanner or the system that it's not completed but here's the situation. When the console transmits on a Talkgroup the scanner does not decode the transmission unless there is a radio (mobile/portable) selected on that channel somewhere on the system. Ex...

I have a setup to listen to a Motorola Smartnet II analog system, working well, with - Windows 7 - 1 SDR dongle for control channel, with SDR# (SDRsharp.. however you decide to say it these days) - 1 SDR dongle for voice channel, with another instance of SDR# - Unitrunker successfully decoding...

I was wondering if someone could help me verify that there is a 700 MHz system in operation in the OKC area. I am picking up a lot of traffic between the 790 through 795 MHz range. At times I am picking up voice communications between 775 through 779 MHz range. A possible control channel is...

Noticed in the db configuration that I imported and uploaded to my scanner, that for a re-banded Motorola system (Motorola Type II SmartZone-Analog and APCO-25 Common Air Interface), that all frequencies associated with this system were listed including control channels). But the selection in...

I have an issue with the 396XT when trying to use it with Unitrunker and I think here is as good as any place to bring it up, since you're talking about XTs and Unitrunker already. When I leave my scanner on hold on the trunk control channel (as you said in the first paragraph), with the volume...

My local public safety SmartZone trunked system has been giving me fits because it keeps changing the control channel on me. I am using a BCT15X to dump control channel data to Unitrunker and I thought the scanner is required to HOLD on the control channel. While testing the delay problem I...

All of a sudden I stopped hearing communications on my BCD996T on the local (Guilford County, NC) trunked system. I made no changes to the scanner. Also, my Radio Shack Pro-96 and 2096 receive as well as always. When I lock the 996T on a talk group (e.g. County Fire), I get a message that...

A couple of quick questions... 1) While scanning a system if the "signal bars" are not displaying, am I not getting a signal? 2) Sometimes I cannot receive on a certain system, when this happens I have put it on hold and scrolled to a talkgroup and get the "Finding CtrlChan". Why can I not...

Control Channel Data Output - allows the analysis of control channel data without the need to perform invasive modifications to the scanner on the BCD396XT Am curious if anyone has experimented with this, particularly on the Indiana SAFET system? Apologize if this has already been asked. New...

I have logged the following freqs on 11/30/09 between 9 and 10 pm PST; 168.8375 & 168.9625 - Data bursts; sound like P25. 171.4625, 168.2375, 166.9250 and 165.9000 - sound like control channels. I will check these out further after I get them programmed into my PRO 95 and/or BC250D. Anyone...

I have a BC796D that will scan great. Sometimes for an hour or so. Then will decide to lock on to a control channel and not scan again until I press scan button. I have reflashed unit to new firmware and then back to old fw. I also reprogrammed unit all over again (Banks and freqs) and checked...

Is there anyone in the Phoenix area that is monitoring the Fisher Wireless System ? Never mind. I found the answer to my question. LTR passport is not scannable.

I have a bcd396xt scanner. I live in the los angeles california county of glendale. I recently downloaded several trunking sites from freescan san bernardino county riverside county regional fire protection i have downloaded other conventional systems with no problems. I also downloaded a...

How do I create a control channel on my BCD396xt? I would like to know how to create a control channel in an existing system and also how to create a control channel in a new system. I understand how to create a new system and new groups and how to assign frequencies to those groups (I think)...

Hello, Still very new to scanning. Trying to get my BCD396xlt to work with our local fire department. Essex County Fire department is on LTR Passport TRS (trs is ???) I have downloaded all the freq's into my scanner. Nothing heard in a few days. The Radio Reference page doesn't show...
