So it's been eons since I used to monitor an EDACS systems, say back to when, a BC246XT, was the cat's meow.
Fast forward today, and am now living in an area where P25 Trunked is in use, however, I've got a couple of surrounding counties still on EDACS.
I manage to snag those with a Yagi. They're listenable albeit with some fading and noise every now and then.
Sometimes, the scanner will land on an active EDACS TG and when the transmission is over, I can hear what sounds like the control channel beeping followed by what sounds like open squelch.
It takes a while for the scanner to resume the scan.
Is there a work around this?
Is my distance and antenna combination, not up to par for what I want to hear?
The scanner is an SDS200. I've tried all manners of filters and squelch combinations.
To reiterate, the systems are very much listenable, is the occasional transmission, with above said noise, that spoils it for me.
