simulcast

I have a scenario where I will be needing to point a Yagi directional antenna at a tower that's part of a phase II P25 system using simulcast. That way I can hopefully help mitigate simulcast distortion from the rest of the towers. I do not live in the simulcast affected area, only outside of...

Just for the record, which scanners can receive Simulcast and actually decode it? I have an SDS200 but I'm looking towards a P25 P2 Simulcast handheld.

Yes, simulcast. I understand what it is and the struggles as I have them myself but I don't have the budget for a 650-700 dollar scanner or a 700-800 dollar pager. SO these scanners alone were what I could afford, including my BCT15X. I had finally bought myself a brand new 996 and I seem to be...

I’m selling a Uniden SDS100 that’s in great condition! I’ve had it for a couple of years and it’s fully functional and has the latest firmware installed. It was sent to Uniden a while back where I had the cold solder issue addressed and I have replaced the dreaded battery door clip with one...

Just a heads up, I am very new to scanners and radios so if I make any mistakes I'd like you to please inform me. Background: I recently bought an SDS200 because I've heard really good things about them. I live in the Charlotte, NC area and have looked at the Charlotte UASI page quite a bit. I...

Just some extra info on this dead thread: SWNH District Fire Mutual Aid KCF-415 is a voted, simulcast simplex system. TLDR, dispatch can hear the mible, they can hear dispatch, but other people who can hear dispatch, might not hear that mobile. The way the TX signal is sent out to all those...

Hi there! I'm still pretty new to scanning, and this is my first post on the forum. Apologies if I ask dumb questions! I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck with listening to the Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District? For reference, I have an SDS100. I live in SF, at low...

Just doing some updating on my scanners and realized I haven heard Norman fire on OKWIN in a long while. Have they ditched the system fully for their simulcast system or am I missing something? I hear them on their simulcast but it sounds horrible on my 536 scanner.

There are many ways to phrase this question but... How come p25 scanners of the mid 2000s had no issues with picking up simulcast back then, but have those issues now? What has changed with simulcast? More towers maybe? Give me the history!

Hello, I am new to police scanning and I bought a Uniden BCD463HP. I think the issues I am running into involve simulcast but I’m not sure. I can see so many channels.. but the scan never lands on them. Whenever it does land on a channel it’s never for long and has a broken transmission. Most...

Hello, I am soon getting my BCD996P2 scanner and I plan to build a Yagi antenna for 800 mhz to listen to local police, fire, etc. and point it towards one tower. On the RR database, it has all the frequencies for the towers for my county, do I need to program them all in or just the ones...

Hello, I'm new to the forum and have some questions about a new scanner. I would be grateful for recommendations on what would work best for us. Most of our time is spent in the following counties - Newberry, Fairfield, Lexington, & Richland counties. My primary interests are, Sheriff, Police...

Soooo I've live in NY, more specifically Westchester NY and i have an SDS200 uniden scanner, I'm trying to listen to the Metro-25/ MTA MRRS system, it's a trunked p25 digital simulcast system from my understanding i downloaded straight from the RadioRefrence website via Proscan. The talk group...

I picked up a bcd996p2 brand new a while back and I’ve been trying to figure out an issue any help would be appreciated. While scanning Howard county indiana it will randomly stop trunking and display NFM. It’s very hard to recreate because it does it randomly but won’t scan properly until I...

Hello all. I've recently had time to get back into SDR after a few years and I'm having some issues with my new tuners and software. The SDR setup consists of a Windows 8.1 workstation with two tuners, the first a Nooelec NESDR v4 RTL-SDR (820T) and another NESDR XTR (E1000). The first time I...

@peterjmag @KI5IRE @b1tr41d Guys just curious...Is Tulsa's OKWIN P25 Phase 1 (Tulsa Site truly Simulcast)? I am hearing it may be but I didn't think it was. I know in past with Simulcast my WS-1065 did horrible in the Austin area(simulcast)...but it does great in Tulsa along with my TRX-1. Of...

Hello, I had a question, so basically is there any way to find out what site my department uses or is that automatic? I’ve realized that my scanner scans through all these sites that it cuts of the traffic on the main site my department uses. So my question really is, does my department use one...
