APX APX P25 Scan issue

[Asunakiyori]

Before my head gets bitten off by certain users. this is for a conventional P25 system. not a NAS p25 p2 issue. I have 2 conventional p25 channels in my Apx. I have checked and double checked the personality is listed to the scan list I want it in, and that the Channels from said personality are in my scan list. However, They are not switching to either of those two channels upon signal receive even when parked on it, I turn off scan, no issue can hear them fine, scan on, No longer receives that. My Harris XG100p has no issues. Any thoughts on this scan issue?

Conventional simulcast?

Conventional simulcast?

I don't believe so. p25 is kinda a new monster to me. But everything else in the lists scans fine. its just these two p25 channels

Is your digital modulator set to CQPSK?

c4fm and digital csq

c4fm and digital csq

Change to CQPSK and see if that fixes your issue.

I'll give that a shot and report back, I'm too far south right now to hear the system I'm barely close enough at home so this might be a few before I report back.

 

[Asunakiyori]

Nope, still not hearing it in scan mode...

You said digital csq...I assume you mean F7E for the NAC ? Anyway there were issues with Astro25 radios and scan with P25 but I never saw any on the APX. If you have personality scan list set and the channels in the scan list it should be scanning. You did add all the channels to your scan list correct ? If you have a scan program button double check they show up in the list.

No the nacs are 925 for One freq and 47B for the other. I've triple checked my list. scan off hears them fine, scan on, nothing

ok.. guess I didnt set it to CQPSK when i loaded it last... I was editing thinks today and saw it. swapped to that and now its scanning it and hearing it on scan

Yea!!! I got something right again. I’ll be sure and let my wife know.

.... some one set a timer and check on this man in 24 hours.... i got $20 he ends up injured or worse.. from possibly a flying frying pan

But yes, Apparently i attempted to change it but it some how reverted. but as i was going through adding some TGs, I looked to sate my curiosity.

Still here and no injuries. I actually got a "reward" for getting something right.

Nope. I''m not even nibbling on your hair. I actually think that conventional mode P25 scanning of a not-too-busy trunked system is a fine idea and I prefer to do it myself. Or I did, when there was a system in the area that was suitable for that. But they went full time encrypted and moved the system down into the 380 MHz frequency range and I never even bothered to set that up again in a radio. Why, when you'll never hear anything?

Im monitoring my Hometown FD god forbid i hear a specific address... where my relatives still reside....they used to be on 100% conventional. then suddenly those two dispatch channels died... nothing. Now im out and about at work and I heard them clear as day with the p25 set up
