Durham Trunk Problem

[VE3RADIO]

Hi Guys,

I am having some problems with the Durham Trunk..

Durham Region Trunk System Trunking System, Durham Region, Ontario - Scanner Frequencies

Basically what happens is that when a talkgoup is active you hear all the traffic flawlessly but when the transmission is over the talkgroup hangs on dead air. I believe my programming is correct as I have programmed hundreds of scanners over the years and it is happening on 4 different scanners I have. I have made sure to set the following:

- Control Channel Only: ON
- Status Bit: IGNORE
- End Code: DETECT

... still with all these settings it hands, so I got curious.. it seems that the control channel is broadcasting.

- 859.33750 is currently the primary control channel
- 866.0500, 866.3000, 866.5500, 866.8000 have dead air being broadcast.. almost as if someone sat on the PTT button.. as you can imagine anytime the TGID uses one of these frequencies the scanner sits on the channel until scan is hit. I have found a way around this via ARC15 PRO as I set it to release the talkgroup after 30 seconds of dead air.

Anyone else notice this? Any ideas? - Obviously the users Motorola radios do not get stuck.. just scanners.

I'm sure you have tried this buddy but i will say it here. Have you tried while this is happening to adjust the Squelch ?

Yeah, the system is effed. I had a friend take a look at T88 and such and 3 of 4 control channels have failed.
