I'm trying to configure my new 396XT for my town's P25 system. At first, I could hear only the road officers, but could not hear the dispatcher's calls or responses. I know they were responding because it showed a different unit ID appearing for the appropriate ammounts of time for a typical response, and always the same one for what was presumably the dispatcher. I know they don't encode their transmissions except for certain situations or certain channels (tg's).
I tried using the ID Search setting instead of ID Scan, but then sometimes I would only hear the dispatcher, other times, I would only hear the officer. Never both sides of a conversation. I've tried the wildcard thing in the ID Scan mode by making a new one with a TGID of i0, but that hasn't picked up aything at all. I'm not even sure if I was doing it right. Do you just listen to only that talk group then?
Anyway, I'm not sure if it's an I-CALL issue, a rebanding issue (they recently rebanded appearently) or something else. I have the latest firmware on it. Can any of you think of a reason why it would show that it's receiving an ID, but not let me hear it? (Besided encoding)
