148.03425 (?)

Try turning off all computer equipment in your home and see if it stops.

I'll try that. On a broader scale, is this an issue with the Scanner? I.e., is this a defect so to speak, an issue that should be repaired?

Thanks -

The're saying there isn't a priority channel in your .p96 file.

But from the picture you provided, it appears that the priority channel is turned on.
Turning it off should fix that.

Thanks Bala.

If I'm understanding correctly, if no Priority Channel is set withn Win-96 then the setting for Priortiy Channel shoud be unchecked.

Going a step further, I assume then that the ability to Lock Out or Unlock a Channel at the Scanner is not dependant on the setting within Win-96?

Thanks,

Lyman

If you mean can you change it at the radio after loading from Win96, then yes that is correct, you can. But the same applies for priority, you can turn it off at the radio also, but that has nothing to do with channels programmed in the radio, it is a separate setting (at least with the Win96 software). When scanning, you toggle the Priority on and off with <PRI> button and it will tell you on the display if (bottom line) if it is on or off. Looking again at the picture you put up, the only thing that is confusing is that small "a" in the middle of the top line, I really don't remember what that indicates.

If after turning <PRI> off you still experience this trouble, I suspect you need to reset the radio (see the owner's manual) as even with the <PRI> on and nothing loaded ("0.0000") in the priority frequency field, it shouldn't be stopping on 148.03425.

Just another couple of comments about the file you loaded (sorry, didn't have the time to spend a lot of time on it yesterday), I notice that you took what was the original "NY-NJ-CT-MA" V-Folder and changed it to suit you (or maybe someone else did), but you still have a lot of TG info loaded in the conventional banks, now there are no ID's associated with them and they probably do no harm, but... You also have, in Bank 7, a bunch of TG's but no frequencies so I assume you are using it as a storage bank only, but then you have no TRS' set up in the file at all so...

Lou,

Thanks for the highly detailed explanation!

> Looking again at the picture you put up, the only thing that is confusing is that small "a" in the middle of the top line...

In using the Scanner in general, the 'a' appears to indicate if Attenuation is enabled or disabled. As I write this it is enabled, and if I press the <ATT> button that little 'a' is no longer visible in the display.

>If after turning <PRI> off you still experience this trouble, I suspect you need to reset the radio (see the owner's manual)

I have not only reset it, but have also initialized it as well. Hence my concern that something is awry with this Unit.... Your thoughts?

> Just another couple of comments about the file you loaded...

With respect to that I haven't really had that much time to sit down and go through the software thoroughly. I hope to have time for that over the next couple of days. Thanks for pointing that out that as I might otherwise have overlooked it.

Btw, the DSP-App version is 1.4.

Thanks again!

Lyman

Thanks for that, I really don't use my 96 (or 2096) that much so it gets hazy after awhile.

Try making a new (start a new template) file to upload. Only copy the banks that you are actually using over from the one you zipped up. Then load it in the radio and see what happens.
...Never mind, I just made one, changed a few things and have attached it here. Unzip it and load it in the radio see if the problem goes away, this is just in case the problem is in your file itself.

Time, time is the problem we all have, fortunately I seem to have a little more free time than most others. :lol:

Thanks Lou! I'll get that uploaded into the Scanner ASAP and let you know. Do you think it's safe to say that this is not a hardware issue with the Scanner?

Again, thanks.

How about we wait for you to load that file I sent and then ask that question again. :wink:

Check your recieve mode

The other thing in the photo that no one has mentioned yet is that you have it in AM mode. There should be FM here. I'll bet it'll go away if you make this change.

Interesting, thanks for pointing that out. I thought that the Pro-96 automatically selects the Mode based on the frequency?

Thanks,

Lyman

.... I thought that the Pro-96 automatically selects the Mode based on the frequency?

Normally it would, in search mode. That freq/mode has to be entered somewhere in your p96 file for it to stop there. What's really puzzling me is that you have nothing in your priority channel field in the settings tab. The mode can be set manually when entering a freq in the channels tab. under the "RX Mode" column. If you have no other freqs in that file that is in AM, it might be easier to find where the error is located if you look down that column.

I do see that in your priority channel box in settings the mode selected is AM. Would think the default setting for that is FM (it is for my p95 file).

Have you loaded the file I sent you, did it fix the problem?

Hi Lou,

Yes, it did and many thanks! I apologize for the late response but Life keeps getting in the way of my plans...this has to stop! Whatever that frequency was, and how it got there, is anyones guess. Any idea how or why that showed? I could not find that within the file itself...were you able to?

MANY thanks again!

Lyman

 

[loumaag]

No, I couldn't either but with all the other things that were strange about that file, I felt that a file starting from scratch (new template) and only putting in the things that you wanted to monitor (based on those banks that actually had frequencies in them) you certainly couldn't be any worse off. :wink:

What would be great if Don Starr happened across this thread, grabbed your original file and took a look, since he has the ability to actually look at the file in raw form and see what is what in it.

148.03425 Lives!

Heh-heh...it's back. The Frequency that won't die!

Thinking that perhaps something - only the Good Lord Himself knows what - was wrong with the other Pro-96 I returned same and it was replaced with a new one.

No change.

Every once in awhile that frequency raises it's ugly head, then goes away for a few hours. I have heard, btw, a few conversations on this frequency.

I'll live with it...it's not coming up that often. Just thought I'd give an update.

Thanks,

Lyman

 

[loumaag]

Did you reload that file you got from wherever or did you use the one I put in the thread?

 

[Lyman]

No, not at all...which makes it all the more perplexing. The only file I've been working with is the one you put together for me. Which, btw, is greatly appreciated!
