G5 Out Of Range Oddity

[sefrischling]

Anyone else experience the inability to have your pager ever connect to a specific site?

My G5 works fantastically, hell, I just loaded it up with the NJ State Police this morning for a ride down the Jersey Tpke and its working fine, but ever since I got this G5 unit roughly a year ago no matter what it always says Out Of Range with the Connecticut State Police Troop G ( I listen to Troop E all day every day, as well as Troop F and Troop K daily with it) , as well I am always Out Of Range with Rhode Island's RISCON South.

I have deleted the info and readded it multiple times with no resolution.

Both can be monitored via a Harris XG-100 or the Uniden 996P2.

Suggestions?

Make sure those sites are in your pager in Hex for Site ID. Ex, Site ID is F and not 15
You can always set them to FF so they are a wild card.

The best way to monitor NJSP is through the smartzone system, but the unication doesn't support smartzone, so your probably monitering it through the NJICS which not every talkgroup is simulcasted through every site

My G5 is constantly going in and out of range, where it never did before. I knew the dead zones, but cannot keep track of all of them now.

That's not the issue. They are programmed the same way as every other CSP and RI site programmed, which is why it is quite maddening.

It worked just fine for me today with the new system. All I wanted want the NJTP North/Central/South

It has to be something in the settings. Send me a PM, I can take a look at your pps file
