I seem to have lost all agent radio traffic with the latest DB update.
I see the updates are affecting the specific agency I am monitoring. (Forsyth County Sheriff)
Has anyone experienced and resolved this?

I don't think the 2/15 database update is your culprit. The only change I made on 2/15 was to revise the description of 4 talkgroups to more clearly note the North/South distinction in how they're used.

My only guess is that something going on with the agency end.
I’m still receiving the surrounding counties.
I hope they didn’t go encrypted.

Thanks,

Must be some setting on your end. I am still hearing FCSO Patrol 1 and Patrol 2 fine on my SDS100 and on my KNG radio.

What happens if you set Site Hold on Forsyth Simulcast and set Channel Hold to site on Patrol 2 for a while?

Nothing on the simulcast.
I did happen upon “Hall County Interop / Backup Channel 2”
and definitely heard consistent Forsyth County Sheriff chatter.
I’ve gone through re-downloading and rewriting the database as well as deleting and recreating a favorites list. It’s madness I Say!

Just for clarity. This is where I’m hearing FCSO.
Recent: 400 and Mary Alice Park.

Hall County
- Hall county Interop
- - Backup Cannel 2 -TGID 5175

An hour long Power Cycle did the trick.
Everything seems to be working.
Thanks for the input.

Glad to hear it. I will say, from my listening these past few days since I saw your first post, their radio traffic is not as busy as I would have expected it to be for a county of their size - lots of traffic stops and not a lot of calls dispatched. But I am not seeing encrypted traffic on Patrol 1 or Patrol 2 so I don't think that's the issue. I have this vague recollection that their radio channels used to be busier, but it may be mis-remembering. Does anyone know if they do a lot of computer-only dispatching of routine calls or something like that to minimize radio traffic relative to other agencies?
