Today while doing some searching with my 436 I ran across activity on a frequency I haven't seen before. I wanted to continue the search with the 436 and use my 396 to monitor the new frequency. So I manually entered the freq in the 396 using [hold] [the digits] [hold]. When transmissions commenced again I heard them fine on the 436 but on the 396 all I heard was the harsh "braaaaat" sound of the digital P25 signal in analog mode. I decided to set up a search to find the freq with the 396 instead of using direct entry and the same thing happened. I confirmed that the modulation was set to auto, I had the P25 wait time set to 300ms on the custom search I set up but it still did not put the P25 audio through. All I heard was "braaaaaat" on the 396 while the 436 decoded it just fine. Here is a screenshot of what I saw on the 436 while I heard the nice clear audio on that scanner. This is a non-trunked conventional P25 frequency.
Any ideas why I am not hearing anything on the 396 but noise?
I programmed the frequency into a conventional system and it decodes the P25 audio just fine in scan mode just not in search mode.
