I'm having problems receiving the Erie County Sheriff NY P25 dispatches on my Whistler WS1065 scanner. When receiving the broadcast its garbled with little clear voice. I'm not having the problem on any other P25 systems in my area that are programmed from RR. I followed the RR programming, and it seems that the frequency is off some. Please help

Sounds like someone went to encrypted comms.
Classic symptom of simulcast distortion as your county sheriff operates on a pair of P25 conventional frequencies simulcast across 6 cells. Feel free to try the mitigation suggestions in the wiki linked below but ultimately a Uniden SDS100 or SDS200 would be better suited to bring simulcast transmissions in. Welcome to the forums!

It sounds garbled with some clear voice. It seems like the frequency is off. Every other P25 system programmed in my area is clear. Something is off. I've tried everything
Exactly what encrypted traffic sounds like.

Change your settings to put one site in, then duplicate and put in another site, then duplicate and put in the last site. It may or may not help you. Buying a Uniden SDS100 will.
FYI: The Saianet DMR Con+ patch is encrypted.

He is trying to listen to the 460.075 P25 conventional channel you cannot select sites in a P25 conventional system.
Is that an inline attenuator?
Yes it is. Try using the built in attenuator and see if that helps.
Settings for that?or use the automated one?
I don't have any Whistler scanners anymore but I believe you can stop the scanner on that channel and there should be an ATT button and that will enable it.
Enabled. Does the online one go on the antenna lead?
Thank you. I knew it was something stupid. Hopefully they can resolve it on the county's end. Very helpful.
There is nothing to "resolve" on the county's end, it works exactly as it should and the real subscribers are unaffected. It's a scanner thing.
