TRX-2: Gloucester County NJ P25 will not receive.

I can probably sum it up in one word...
Please do a search for more information and how Whistler scanners don't play nice with simulcast.

Which county are you in? If you attach your Gloucester County configuration file, I will be happy to take a look at it. Click on Attach files and open the file. As RaleighGuy just mentioned, the problem very well could be simulcast distortion.
The best solution for simulcast is a SDS series scanner or using a SDR and software, there are things that help, but nothing is guaranteed. Your mileage will vary depending on your location.
As previously mentioned you're going to have a horrible time with simulcast systems like Gloucester County's scanning with anything other than a Uniden SDS100 or SDS200. Being from just outside Philly I'm familiar with that very system as well as the counties' simulcast systems surrounding it. You can try the multipath mitigation methods outlined in the wiki linked below, they may or may not work. If I were you I'd sell the TRX-2 and pick up an SDS100 or SDS200. Trust me it'll be a night & day difference

That's because most of the sites are single-cell (non-simulcast)

One thing to check: Atlantic County uses 800 MHz frequencies. That will work fine with the Standard trunking tables. The Gloucester County system uses 700 MHz frequencies. Under the Site Options tab in the EZ-Scan software, Trunking Tables must be set to Auto Fill for the Gloucester County system to work.
