Chesapeake P25

I would have been surprised if it did carry as far. I'm in DE; I'll see how it sounds when I'm in town again for a while.

Simulcast distortion is to blame, my s-meter is jumping up and down

They will switch over on the 22nd and I don't know the exact time of the switch but they are on that day.

Sounds terrible and I am a mile from HQ. On a 396XT.

I can barely hear anything in Churchland sounds bad it may need some tweaking!

Right at the Royal Farms in Churchland, I had a decent signal, but after that it's trash

odd Radio ID range, 560xxxx, I was expecting 550xxxx or 551xxxx assuming they'd coincide with the regional ID plan.

I changed the Threshold level from 8 to 7, seems to have adjusted it somewhat

Sorry if I missed this, but which vendor did Chesapeake go with? Harris or motorola? Just wondering

Was the transition so bad they switched back to the Astro system? Hearing nothing on the Harris system. All traffic has been on Astro. For the longest time this morning the decode rate had been zero. Now it's about 34%.

I know yesterday they had the P25 patched to the Astro

I have never heard such bad commication on a P25 system. VA. Beach and the STARS are Crystal clear and Chesapeake sounds like a CB radio.

How Could This Be?

I tried to get the latest Chesapeake P25 info, and when I download the (supposed) updated RR database in Sentinel, the Chesapeake P25 listing shown in the RR frequency database is less than what is shown. However, when I download the same information in ARC 536, I get the more updated version. Weird! I thought they both draw from the same RR database?

Boy this rollout is really rough. These radio conversations sound like - well you know!!! (grin), But at least we can hear them.

Would love to know the answer to the above.

i can tell you this about the RR database, when i program my pro 197 (or 396xt) using RR (and freescan as the spftware), it can be different than when i using RR in sentinel for my 436. TG names are sometimes different. have always wondered about this, but knew it was happening.

I'm trying to receive the Chesapeake P-25 system using a Uniden BCD 996P2 in the Churchland area of Portsmouth. Anyone else having this issue?

 

[LeSueurC]

On my 436 it's very sporadic in Churchland, just south of Craney Island.
