BC246T talkgroup display bug?

[ericcarlson]

Occasionally, the 246T will stop on an active LTR talkgroup but the wrong system name displays. This is obvious in several cases because I will see, for example, a talkgroup displayed that is homed to 09 but the system the 246T claims it is monitoring has no channel 09. This is not a momentary flash of the wrong name; it continues to report the wrong system name while the talkgroup is active as well as if I hold on the talkgroup. I've noticed this several times now so I know that I'm not imagining it. I have the 246T scanning 12 LTR systems and 3 Motorola systems all in ID search mode. So far, I've only noticed this behavior with LTR talkgroups. I'm running firmware version 1.42. Has anyone else noticed this?

Are you ABSOLUTELY sure it's not correct? Are you absolutely certain there is no LCN 9?

Yes... the talkgroups are already ID'd on another system I'm scanning. The voice traffic is the same.

How close are they? What is the actual TG and what is being displayed?
