BC796D conventional problem?

[jjmdimunno]

Hi guys,
Having a problem with the BC796D here...I've got this scanner working on some conventional frequencies stored in a bank with a digital trunked system. When a fire company is toned out on our F1 frequency (conventional VHF), in the middle of the tones, the scanner seems to lose the signal for some reason and resumes scanning, sometimes resulting in me missing a significant portion of the dispatch. Anyone have an idea why this is?

The signal is of excellent strength...max. bars on the display. I don't understand why that would happen...anyone have an idea?

If you have DATA SKIP enabled, try turning it OFF.

You could have Data skip enabled, or you could have a negative delay set on the channel.

You got it guys...data skip was enabled. Didn't even know what that was until you told me. Working perfectly fine now guys. Thanks!
