Think I got it. Only have trrop I site programmed. Ctrl channel only checked and 800 splinter for band plan. Any 996P2 owners having trouble try that.

I wonder what the band plan is needed for if it's Control Channel only.

At least it works.

My 996P2 has not stopped hearing CLMRN at all

Well finally figured it out. The outside antenna I had connected to the radio works great for everything I'm listening to except for Troop I's control channel. Soooo I put a BNC "t" on back of the scanner. One side is the outside antenna, the other a little rubber duck. Now I hear both no problem.

Ah yes good find. Sometimes less signal or maybe even a different spot is the trick.

It wouldn't be impossible that there was work done on the system. It is like any other complex system, it needs maintenance, repairs, upgrades, etc.
I did notice that the CWID on L was not sending for a while but started again on 4/12 (to the default "CHANGEME")
Also, the Harvard Sentences were being broadcast recently which is often used for coverage testing.
