On my BCD396T, when I receive a P25 transmission that is distant or low powered (e.g. simplex), the signal comes in, but it is garbled (digital unintelligible sounding). The signal is coming in, but the processor is not able to decode the P25 for some reason.
I have fine tuned my P25 settings to optimal levels. This is occuring on LAPD's system.
When this happens, many times I can hear the response of other units (assumably closer to my position) with no problem. The scanner is able to pick up non-P25 low power or distant transmissions without this problem (not being a problem with the scanner's sensitivity).
Is this something that can be fixed or addressed for a firmware update, or is it just the nature of the beast of trying to decode P25 transmissions?
