Hi.
A new trunking system is been deployed here, in Quebec, Canada.
The system is brand new VHF P25 system (9600 bauds control channels are showing up fast in the area).
But my BCD396T, with the latest firmware, could not "lock" the control channel controller... Even with a steady 4-5 signal bar, the signal bar "flash" in and out, showing the control channel frequencies on and off... When the signal is "locked", I could receive some channels well, but went the scanner resume after the communication, most of the time, he lost the control channel sync...
But the unit got no problem (ie the signal bar were steady, not flashing) at all following 3600 bauds P25 systems in the area, nor any conventional trucking system (Motorola, LTR and EDACS works pretty fine!).
I also set the unit in "Motorola P25", "FM", to receive the full bandwith of the signal, and entering the control channel in the good place. After checking the "Bandplan", I see that the scanner received band plan info from the controller.
Have you encounter such issues in the States, with new P25 systems?
Do you know if it's a known issue and Uniden is working on a new firmware to correct this issue?
Is that an issue that could be corrected by changing internal settings with the 1.11.03 firmware?
Is my scanner the issue?
I'm waiting about your comments about it!
Thank you very much,
Joel Bedard.
