I tried on my buddy G5 and have the same issue it connecting on the site. Did any of site info change? Did they do an over the air update and it changed something.

You're never gonna find out here. Those who know don't post, and those who post don't know.

It could be they updated the software in the controller, diddled some settings... beats me. But if Unication receivers stopped working, yet SDRtrunk and Uniden scanners still work it is unlikely a change to the trunked system since that is the common element. Conversely, it's a change that only the Unication has trouble with for whatever reason.

My uniden scanner is not working so that's false that The uniden works it's connecting to the system but nothing comes thru

13:19 My Uniden BCD996P2 just heard Pompano fire dispatch a vehicle fire on I-95, Hollywood PD chatter, and other random traffic while typing this. Whatever it is does not affect all scanners and apparently not the subscriber units used by police and fire in the street. SDRtrunk wide open on the Broward trunked system is non-stop chatter right this second.

At first I thought they might have switched to TDMA control channels, but the SDRtrunk installation here has not been tweaked and says FDMA control channel. Beats me!

Now when I park the 996P2 on the control channel it shows the system ID, but is rarely displaying active talkgroups using the back-of-set antenna a few feet from a window. When I connected the scanner to an antenna on the roof it seems a lot more solid. Maybe the wind is blowing around antennas, trees, power lines, metal signs causing all kinds of reflections which causes unrecoverable bit errors?

SDRTrunk is now working normally on the Broward system. But earlier, I noted that it was tagging all channel grants as Phase 1. But not now.

Nothing to do with antennas. Scanners and commercial grade radios are programmed and operate differently.

My G4 was working fine last night and still shows Out of Range. I have only programmed Site 1 and not the backup if that matters.
