APX APX Scan Question / Help

[Nbrundage617]

Hello all, I am hoping to try and find a solution to an issue I have been running into. When im scanning my city fire talk groups, every now and then the beginning of the transmissions will get cut off. Im not sure if it is a setting that I can mess with in CPS or if there is another solution to this problem. I do not have the same issue when scanning police talk groups. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I'll take a stab at it to get the ball rolling. There could be a few things going on. Is this scanning from a single trunked system? Both talkgroups are on the same site so it isn't scanning between systems which would scan between different control channels? Is it possible the police talkgroups are in a different scan list or ar they same? and then maybe its in need of a firmware update. The thing with moto firmware releases is it seems to sometimes introduce bugs. Stranger things have happened where a firmware updated fixed a slight issue.

Both the police and fire are on the same phase 1 p25 public saftey system. I have separate scan lists and zones set up for police and fire. For fire, all of the talkgroups are on the same system and same site. I had my unit serviced, firmware upgraded, tuned and aligned about 2 months ago. It is not that big of a deal, just a few second delay but I would love to try and fix it if I can.

Is it priority scanning?

 

[Nbrundage617]

I do have one priority channel set on both my police and fire scan list.

It may be hitting one of those and cutting it off

would it do that for one scan list and not another. my pd talkgroups dont get cut off ever and i have a priority channel set up on that scan list too

So when you're parked on say fire dispatch primary, is the beginning of transmissions from other fire channels in the scan list being cutoff during scan, but you can hear everything on the channel your parked on? Also is the primary fire channel you're parked on pretty busy?

I have it set up as NAS. It is not that busy of a system and it doesnt always happen but every now and then I will notice that the beginning of the transmission will get cut off.
