BART P25 not Receiving Home Patrol-2

[kma438]

Downloaded latest version of Sentinel to two of my Home Patrol-2's. Now I'm unable to receive BART system on both scanners using Fukk Data Base and setting up a Favorites List. Changed my locations from ALCO , CoCo and SF to see if that would work. Still no receive. My SDS100, SDS200 and 536 receive BART perfectly. Does anyone else have a problem with HP=2 receiving BART? I suspect a Sentinel bug. Do I contact Uniden about this bug?

A common issue after updating programming is that the required service types are not enabled. Please make sure that the Transportation service type is enabled. (By default Transportation is disabled.)

The problem is almost certainly because that is a simulcast radio system.

The Home Patrol 2 will not work well in most cases on simulcast systems. The SDS models were built to overcome the problems simulcast systems present.

I always love to pass around this video; it's one of the simplest and best explanations of simulcast distortion:

Did the HP-2's receive BART before downloading new programming?

Yes BART was receiving before the new programming.

Service Type: Transportation is ON. The HP-2 sits next to the 536 and the 536 receives BART fine. HP-2 also receives EBRACS with no simulcast problems.
